Congrats! You’ve made the decision to transition your child from traditional schooling to online school, and that’s an exciting step.
Whether this choice was made for flexibility, academic support, or a better learning environment, you’re now embarking on a journey that can be both rewarding and, at times, overwhelming. But don’t worry—you’re not alone! We’re here to walk you through what to expect, how to set up for success, and how Strike School can support you every step of the way.
1. The Adjustment Period: It’s Normal!
The first few weeks of online school can feel like a big shift. Your child may be used to a structured school day with bells, classmates, and in-person teacher interactions. Moving to an online learning environment means adjusting to a new routine, engaging with teachers differently, and more independent learning.
Some days may feel smooth, while others may come with challenges—and that’s okay! Give yourself and your child grace during this transition period.
Here are some tips for a smoother adjustment:
- 👉 Set a consistent daily schedule to create a sense of normalcy.
- 👉 Designate a quiet, comfortable learning space at home.
- 👉 Check in with your child regularly to see how they’re feeling about the change.
2. Building a New Learning Routine
One of the best parts of online school is the ability to customize your child’s learning experience. Unlike the rigid schedule of public school, online learning allows for more flexibility.
However, structure is still important, especially for child development. Creating a daily or weekly routine will help your child stay on track and feel confident in their new learning environment.
Here are some key things to incorporate:
- 👉 Consistent Start and End Times: Setting expectations helps keep learning on track.
- 👉 Breaks and Movement: Encourage short breaks to prevent burnout.
- 👉 Time for Socialization: Online school doesn’t mean isolation! Look for virtual clubs, extracurricular activities, volunteer opportunities, or local homeschool groups. There are many adventures to learn from and fun experiences that open up, along with meeting new friends!
3. Parent Involvement: What’s Your Role?
Parents play a key role in their child’s online education, but don’t worry—you don’t need to be a full-time teacher.
While you may also be teaching your child different subjects, your main priority is to provide encouragement, create a structured environment, and help your child stay organized.
Here are a few ways to support your child:
- 👉 Regularly communicate with teachers to stay informed about progress.
- 👉 Set goals together and celebrate achievements.
- 👉 Encourage independence by letting your child take ownership of their learning.
