In order for your students to be ready for their class, you’ll want to check off each item on the following lists.
To-Do List for Parents:
In case you have not officially registered your child, register here.
Purchase a downloadable TWJ Writing Foundations Handbook from our website. (You may have already done this when you registered.)
Purchase student novels. (This only applies to Reading & Writing courses, not Writing Foundations. When purchasing novels, it’s important that you use the ISBN number provided on the website. All students must use the same book for their course work.)
Make sure your student has a gmail email account.
Accept invitation to google classroom. (Your child’s instructor will send this out two weeks before classes start.)
IMPORTANT: Register to attend an online Parent Orientation.
Dates: (Please attend one or the other.)
■ Friday, August 25 at 7:30 (PST)/ 10:30 (EST)
■ Monday, August 28 at 2:00 (PST)/ 5:00 (EST)
Review your student’s “To Do” list with them. (See below.)
To-Do List for Students:
Starting any new class can be stressful, but knowing what’s expected helps students to be prepared and confident. What do students need to remember to be successful in our online classes?
1. Arrive to class 5 minutes early each week.
2. Use earbuds/headphones.
3. Have writing utensils and paper ready to use.
4. Always ask questions to make sure you understand what’s being asked of you.
5. Make every effort to join in the group discussion.
6. Complete ALL homework. (Younger students require more parental oversight.)
7. Be able to access previous week’s homework during class.
8. Last, but not least, have a positive attitude.
Thank you for partnering with us to begin this semester with great success for all!
