"What will I need before I start school?”
is a commonly asked question. We want the best experience for your student. While the curriculum is online, there are still a few items that are online learning essentials:
Reliable Internet Access
Make sure you have a reliable internet service that is reasonably fast. It is a good idea to have a few backup options for getting online if your primary connection is having issues.
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 may want to print items to access offline or for your records. Finding a daily, weekly, or monthly calendar planner is helpful.
Traditional School Supplies
While you will do much of your work on the computer, you will want items such as pens, pencils, highlighters, binders, crayons, scissors, rulers, and notebook paper on hand. As you start school, you can always contact your teacher to see if other materials are recommended for future lessons.
These essentials will help ensure a smooth and effective online learning experience. Thank you for choosing to join our school community! We look forward to the new school year with you. Thank you for choosing to join our school community! We look forward to the new school year with you.
