Hello 7th Grade Family,
This week grade 7 will be remote learning from home. Students are still required to join classes and complete the assigned work. Students should complete their science assignments during their science class time and students need to sign in for math class.
It is important for your student to have a schedule to follow. Research has shown that students need structure and routines to help be successful. Due to their age, they will probably need help with this because their brains are not developed enough to have the executive functioning skills needed to learn from home. Many of them have expressed how hard it is to do school from home due to distractions and not knowing what assignment to do when.
Please help them with the following if needed:
*Waking up at/around the same time daily
(like they would if they had to go into school)
*Having a quiet workspace w/no distractions
(video games and cell phones)
*Completing their work during class time
(science work is done during their science class)
*Submitting work on time
*Eating a healthy diet
*Limiting extra screen time
*Getting plenty of rest (going to bed at a decent hour)
Trust is important, but your student is incredibly intelligent and might know how to pull a fast one over you by saying they completed their assignment when they actually didn't do it at all. I know you have a lot going on in your life, but help your student learn responsibility by having them show you their completed work. This shows your student that you care and are interested that they do well in school and turn their assignments in on time.
I appreciate all that you do at home to help your student be successful. Thank you for all your hard work!
~Mrs. Cote
