In the lower grades, below class three, parents will notice that there is more involvement required. While the teacher is in charge of providing the content, parents need to provide the opportunity for the content to be consumed and assist the child in being prepared for the lessons. This might include helping them prepare their paintings to be sent to the teacher or it may include helping them complete an assignment.
Parents in these younger grades are also encouraged to help bring some of the content if the desire is to limit screen time. Parents can learn the songs and stories and bring them to the children themselves. Parents are requested to work on daily reading with their child once the letters have been introduced to aid in the process of practicing their new skills.
For upper elementary, middle and high school classes, children will be expected to be more responsible for their own work. Often less help is needed from the parent at this stage and active encouragement for the student to connect with the teacher is encouraged. Parents should regularly hold their child accountable for submitting quality school assignments on a daily basis.
