Tips to Support Your Daughter

❑ Organize a dedicated learning space at home with all of the materials your daughter will need to work efficiently. This should be a common, quiet space with internet access where your daughter can be supervised.

❑ If your daughter will be using her webcam for synchronous classes or video recordings, please help her assess her surroundings. All video conferencing and recording should be done in a common space with a neutral background if possible.

❑ Please help your child develop a daily schedule and remind her to take regular breaks from work and digital devices.

❑ Please help your daughter keep a regular bedtime and remind her to engage in physical activity as often as possible.

❑ Check in with your daughter regularly.
