You may have questions as you and your student embark on your online learning journey. We will guide you through the essentials for online learning, ensuring your student is equipped for a successful and enriching educational experience.
“What will I need before I start school?”
We want the best experience for your student. While the curriculum is online, there are still a few items that are essential for successful online learning:
Reliable Internet Access
Make sure you have a reliable internet service that is reasonably fast. If your primary connection has issues, having a few backup options for getting online is a good idea.
Comfortable Chair
Unlike a traditional school setting, where students may move from one classroom to another, your student may sit in one spot for a while when engaging in our online school. Make sure to have a good chair for comfort and concentration.
Workspace
Find a school workspace in the house, preferably at a desk, to ensure your student has a convenient place for accessing online lessons, studying, and completing offline assignments. A good area is one with less noise and distraction for better focus.
Planner or Calendar
Even though most assignments are online, you can print items to access offline or for your records. Finding a daily, weekly, or monthly calendar planner is helpful.
Traditional School Supplies
Although students will do most of their work on the computer, you should keep basic stationery such as pens, pencils, highlighters, binders, crayons, scissors, rulers, and notebook paper handy. As they start school, you can always contact their teacher to see if they recommend any other materials for future lessons.
