Parent Communication
Create a designated learning space
          Choose a designated learning space that allows your child to feel a sense
          of ownership and empowerment when they sit down to learn (i.e. nook in
          corner of room, wide hallway, etc.)

          Ensure a relaxed and quiet environment
          Minimize distractions by making sure all toys, games, and activities are
          tucked away during learning hours. Check for good lighting and ensure
          that the desk/table/chair is a comfortable height with legroom below.

          Materials and Supply Station
          Easy access to school electronic device, charger, and headphones.
          Have school books and supplies easily accessible at all times.
          Set up an area for supplies (pencils, crayons, markers, notebooks, etc.)

          Have a daily schedule and routine
          Having a daily schedule will help with morning, school day,
          and after school routines.
