Tips for Online Learning Success |
- Dedicate a space for you to do your work, where your computer will be on a level surface. Remember that everyone can see where you are working when your camera is on.
- Communicate with your teachers via email (your student ID# @fcpsschools.net). Also use this email to reach out to counselors and other school staff.
- Check for assignments and announcements in FCPS 24-7 Learning or Google Classroom.
- Stick to a schedule.
- Follow the schedule for meeting with teachers. Use the other days to complete assigned work and check in when needed.
Be open and flexible to learn this new way together!

How to Get Your Child/Adolescent to Open Up to You
We all want to know what's going on in our children's lives. We want to know about school and about their friends. We want to hear their successes and their struggles. But what happens when your kids won't tell you what's going on in their lives? What if you ask questions and all they do is shrug and mumble "It was fine," or "I don't know"?
Webinar Highlights:
- Strategies to use with reluctant children
- How to open lines of communication with your children
- How to increase productive, effective communication
Presented by Parenting Specialist, Rachel Bailey, M.A., CPDPE.
