REMOTE LEARNING- A Guide for Parents & Students

• Remember to check in with your PALS teacher every morning. Fill in the survey each day and attend your Zoom meetings on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
• Avoid email notifications home
• Ensure you are in the appropriate uniform! Years 7-10 Sports Uniform, Years 11 and 12 School Uniform (Year 12 may wear school jerseys)
• Between periods students are encouraged to take short physical breaks. All lessons will finish early and start later to allow students to have a short break, stretch or go to the bathroom
• Some classes will be conducted using ZOOM allowing teachers and students to experience face-to-face contact. 
• Year 7-10 One class per week per subject
• Year 11-12 Two classes per week per subject
• If parents wish to raise a concern with a teacher please email the school on info@sjedow.catholic.edu.au and it will be forwarded to the nominated teacher.
• If teachers are contacting parents it will appear as a 'no caller id' on your phone. Please answer. We want to support your child.

GUIDE FOR PARENTS ON RESTORATIVE BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT 

Working with young people for positive behaviours can be challenging, especially during remote learning. Some strategies to assist parents/carers include;

1. State the expectations clearly
2. For non-compliance re-state the expectation and the effect the behaviour is having on others
3. If non-compliance continues: use ‘Language of Choice’ with a consequence;

eg “please stay on the correct site and do not go to youtube or I will remove your computer for 15 min”.   

The consequence should:

• • align with the action
  • Be inevitable rather than harsh.

If the behaviour persists the consequence should be implemented. The child should then be returned to what they were doing with the expectations clearly restated.
