REMOTE LEARNING TIPS AND TRICKS FOR PARENTS

As we complete two weeks of remote learning we want to thank our parents and carers for their support of their children. Without your presence, guidance and positivity it would be even more difficult for your child to learn from home. We know this can be a very challenging time for many families, with many different circumstances, and we appreciate all that our families are doing, to continue the learning from home. Please continue to just do the best you can to support your child/children. We also want to thank our students for engaging in their learning tasks, completing them on time and doing the best they can. We will continue with remote learning for at least another week so some tips and tricks for parents are below:

- Set up a routine that is predictable each day for you and your child, start with a healthy breakfast and gather everything you need to begin learning.

- Remote learning is flexible- your child should spend between 2-3 hours on their remote tasks each day plus plenty of movement/exercise breaks and a break for morning tea and lunch.

- Encourage your child to problem solve and be independent. If you need to help them, be kind to yourself and only do what you can.

- Take some time for prayer and Christian meditation.

- Treat remote learning like a normal school day and encourage your child to complete as many activities as they can and submit them as per the instructions of their teachers.

- Family time is important, so ensure your child turns their screen off by 3:00pm and spends time with their family, relaxing and enjoying time together.

- Make contact with your child's teacher on their seesaw account or Google Classroom account if there are any concerns regarding their learning tasks. Please also make contact with the school for any concerns regarding remote learning in general.

Please have a read of the following document outlining how to manage stress during these challenging times.
