Preparing for Back-to-School? Here are some Tips!

Disponible en:

Late nights, pjs all day and loads of screen time will dwindle. Summer has come and gone and it is time to return to school. As Aldine ISD families prepare for back-to-school here are some helpful tips for helping your children get back on track for the start of school. 

1. Stay Positive: A new form of learning can be challenging for both the students and the parents. Your attitude can influence how your child views the start of school. Set a positive tone and expectations of the school year. The fears of at-home learning are real but show your child that learning can happen anywhere.

2. Establish a Routine: Create a daily routine. After reviewing classroom expectations for virtual learning, review these with your child and establish an at-home learning schedule. Give yourself some time to ease into a new routine and make sure it is flexible. 

3. Create a Learning Space: Designate a space at home for your child to complete school work. A designated learning environment will increase productivity. Learning can happen anywhere. A dining room or kitchen table, a home office, and even at a bedroom desk. Make sure school supplies and materials are within arms reach to limit  interruptions.

4. Stay Connected: Parents or guardians can monitor how well your children are doing while learning at-home. Observe how engaged they are and identify any challenges. Think about ways you can help them through that and utilize your campus resources. Using tools in Home Access Center and checking in with your child to ensure they have what they need will be key for their continued success.

5. Remember Learning is Fun: Use out-of-the-box and creative ways to help your student learn. There are additional resources provided on the AldineLearns.com website to help with virtual learning at home.
