Parental roles in Online Learning

By P. Sanders

Now, more than ever, it is imperative that parents continue to actively monitor their student's learning.
They must keep in mind that the goal is not just to “pass” the class but also to learn the lesson for future endeavors.

Teachers strive to plan lessons that will adhere to the statewide guidelines for learning. However, we also go one step further and try to bring knowledge of the world around our students. The ultimate goal is to create lifelong learners, global citizens who care about their community as well as the world in which they will someday take a role as leaders of the future.

Until this time, though, students must:

Engage in Learning

Complete assignments with honor, care, and confidence

Be able to discuss ad apply what they have learned

This can be achieved by parents:

Providing daily and weekly monitoring of grades and attendance via parent portal or even Zoom history of log-ins.


Motivating and encouraging students to have digital integrity and attend class, complete work with honesty, and strive to do their absolute best.

This is a new world of learning, that could continue into the very next school year. If so, it is up to the partnership between parents and teachers to ensure that the children who are our future, continue to grow.
