It is important for the student to have a consistent learning schedule. Most teenagers in the senior grades can work directly with their teachers on what they need to do without any direct help from parents/caregivers. Have them share their schedule with you. It is important to develop a daily routine that includes healthy meals and snacks, outdoor activity, socialization, hands-on activities, and a conversation time with you. During remote learning it is important that students develop a routine of daily conversation with you the parent, that allows them to share what they have done, ask questions, and plan their next steps.

Your child may also enjoy learning more with you about things you enjoy and are passionate about. Share your expertise and passion in things such as construction, cooking, gardening, farming, painting, music, etc. They may also have an area of interest that they would like to develop or explore. Perhaps they would like to work on a project they have not previously had time to before.

Other areas to consider when developing expectations and routines are:

• the number of children you have in the home 
  
• the ages of those children
  
• the type of learning activities that have been assigned
• access to technology
  
• how long your child can work on a learning activity and how often they will need breaks
• your own schedule
• an appropriate work space
  

The sample schedule below is from the spring of 2020 and is applicable to supplemental learning. Classroom teachers will now provide the learning plan but there are some great ideas of thing to do that will be fun and engaging for your child.
