Parent involvement is key to student success, especially in an online learning environment. At Resurrection Christian School Online, we know that parents play a crucial role in guiding their children to stay on track academically and spiritually. Here are some practical ways you can stay involved with your child’s education, even from home:
1. Create a Structured Learning Environment
Help your child by setting up a dedicated workspace free from distractions. Establishing a consistent routine that mimics a traditional school day can provide the structure they need to stay focused. Having a set time for breaks, meals, and study can also help build good habits.
2. Review Assignments and Progress Regularly
Stay updated on your child’s assignments and grades through Ignitia. Checking their progress weekly allows you to identify any areas where they might be struggling before it becomes a larger issue. Encourage your child to talk about what they are learning, and celebrate their successes along the way.
3. Communicate with Teachers
Don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers if you have questions or concerns. Our teachers are here to support not only students but parents as well. Open communication ensures you have the resources and insight needed to help your child succeed.
4. Encourage Time Management Skills
Teaching your child time management is essential in an online setting. Help them break larger projects or assignments into smaller, manageable tasks with deadlines. If your student works best on a college-style schedule, discuss the option of focusing on fewer classes at a time.
5. Engage in Spiritual Growth Together
Since we are a Christian school, we encourage you to participate in spiritual activities with your child. Whether it’s praying together, discussing the lessons from their Bible classes, or participating in our daily Bible Reading plan, faith-based involvement strengthens their educational experience.
6. Monitor Screen Time
While online learning requires screen time, it’s important to balance it with offline activities. Encourage reading, outdoor play, and creative outlets. This balance will support both their physical and mental well-being, helping them stay refreshed and ready for schoolwork.
7. Stay Informed with School Resources
Check informational emails, the school’s website, and BLOG regularly for updates. By staying informed, you can better support your child’s needs and keep up with any changes in the curriculum or school policies.
Your involvement as a parent is invaluable. Together, we can create a strong foundation for your child’s academic and spiritual growth!
