Support students in developing calendars (planners) and plans for the week and then checking with them to see how they are doing and if they are keeping up ok. Communicate any concerns to teachers as soon as they pop up.

Time management is critical for online learning success. Without the structure of the classroom environment students can get behind and become overwhelmed. It is an excellent skill to develop using online learning sets and other responsibilities. Teachers will work with students to develop these skills and manage their workload in collaboration with parents.

Supporting students in developing calendars and plans for the week and checking with them to see how they are doing and if they are following them.

Humble ISD partners with all parents to support each student in achieving their goals and dreams. It is important that families work with their trusted healthcare providers to select the very best learning environment for their children and for their family. An analysis must be done that weighs the risk of exposure to COVID-19 (and other communicable illnesses) against the benefits of being on campus.

We believe we can provide a safe campus experience for healthy individuals. The definition of “healthy” rests with you and your healthcare provider. We know there will be positive cases on campus just as there are out in our community at grocery stores, etc.; so that needs to be part of the conversation and analysis performed by each family for each student. We are here to support you with whichever excellent educational experience you believe is best.

We welcome changes to in-person or to online, as we understand circumstances may change in your family.
