Here are some useful time management tips on days students are working from home. Students should:
Keep the same bedtime and morning routines and stay on a schedule.
Get ready as if they were planning on coming to school.
Create a workspace free from distractions and large enough to hold a computer, text books, binders, pens/pencils, calculators, etc.
Print a copy of the WCA green/blue calendar and hang it up near their workspace.
Use a planner or organizational tool to track due dates, Zoom meeting times, and assignments. (Tip: use the reminder app on your phone, or try iHomework)
Prioritize work and start on assignments early to avoid procrastinating.
Ask for help when needed. Teachers, counselors, and administrators are here to support students!
Remember to take mental breaks. Go outside, grab a snack, walk the dog, listen to music, draw, or take a short bike ride.
