Make sure it is clear from distractions and you have all the materials you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you check your school email and respond if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your assignments through Google Classroom. Make sure you keep up with daily assignments. If you need clarification on an assignment, email your teacher.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to keep your cell phone away from your workspace and do not have tabs open on your computer that could be distracting&#8230;i.e. YouTube videos!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if I am experiencing difficulty in a class?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers are available through email. If you have a question for a teacher about an assignment, reach out to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are having a difficult time completing work for any reason, please communicate this with your teacher. We all are aware that there are circumstances that may be impacting families right now. If this is the case please let your teacher and\/or counselor know.<\/span>\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How should I handle Google Meet, Zoom or any Video Conferencing?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are having a google meet with a teacher or with a class, you should treat it as if you were in school. <\/span>\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Meet or Zoom &#8220;Norms&#8221;:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students should set up in a common area of their home and wear school appropriate clothes (i.e. not pajamas).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may not record<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> any other student or faculty member while connecting virtually.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use school appropriate language.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sit in a quiet space.

Try to maintain structure in your day. It can be very easy to procrastinate but that may lead to late assignments and an increase in stress. Try to stick to a schedule that is similar to your school day.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a planner, Google calendar or a Google doc to list upcoming work and deadlines.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your time appropriately. Again, think of the school schedule and allow yourself time for each subject area.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a break make sure you take one! Sometimes this will help if you are feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. Go for a walk, run or do something active.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget to charge laptops at the end of each day.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your current time management plan is not working for you, reach out to someone for help.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important points for students to remember is that the same rules for school apply to online video conferencing. Please review the video conferencing \u201cnorms\u201d with your child so that we ensure all students are aware of how to present themselves online in a classroom setting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We miss seeing the students every day and we are keeping our fingers crossed for a return to school at some point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Sandra Intrieri<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parents and Students, We hope that everyone is safe, healthy and weathering this storm.
