Back to School Online Begins Now - Success Tips for Moms

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Good morning and welcome back to school. Online.



Wow. 2020. You are quite the conundrum. As a Mom, I look forward to back to school shopping, and all of the school supplies to prepare for a new year of learning. Truth be told, in general, I just love school supplies!

This year is different. Way different. It is akin to the time we homeschooled yet now there is a different format and check in times and a structure to the "online" world of high school through the public school system.  So far, so good. 


Though this year, there is no new backpack, or lunch bag or clothes! Why spend the money when we are on a permanent "until further notice" for covid guidelines and safety to return to school.


 I saw some tone deaf ads from brands about buying and saving on new back to school gear and I think that's what happens when the marketing department schedules out media buys a year in advance.

Going forward into the 2020 online school year, here are a few tips to help you and your student:

1. Keep a sleep schedule - as if - you were attending school on campus

2. Make a sacred study space - no breaching of the learning space so the student becomes consistent in where learning happens for online school

3.Eliminate distractions and if you have siblings, keep them separated by the dollar store tri fold presentation board

4. Keep a school/study/lunch/break schedule so the student is acclimated to the learning routine and if school campus reopens, the transition will be smooth.  Part of this step is to have the student "dress" for school. No pajamas, put a real shirt on and sit down at the computer like it's a class meeting in person.

5. Have fun with it.  This is not the end of the world. It's like a dress rehearsal for something else and a new way of operating.

You got this back to school online moms!

p.s.  School is out at 3 pm and happy hour starts at 3:10 pm. Ka ching!
