Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best environment for my child to learn in?
Try to create a quiet and comfortable learning space. Your child may have a regular place for doing homework under normal circumstances, but this space may not be suitable for working in for an extended period of time.
A space/location for extended learning should be a public/family space, not in a bedroom. It should be a place that can be quiet at times and have a strong wireless internet signal, if possible. Above all, it should be a space where you or another adult is present and monitoring your children's learning.
Check out this Learning Environment Checklist from the DOE.
Will the school be providing iPads for my child?
Unfortunately due to our schools iPads settings and link to iTunes, we are unable to let students borrow school iPads.
My child is in K-2 and we don't have any devices to connect online. What should I do?
Contact your child's classroom teacher for more information.
