During this “Stay Home, Stay Safe” period of time, we can all benefit from a little structure. At our recent spring AWSP board meeting, we discussed providing additional resources for families. Here is a resource the principals at the Washington Virtual Academy (WAVA) shared with us to help students in grades K-12 and their families create schedules to manage their time.

This document includes examples of different schedules. The introduction to this document says, “Scheduling is something that helps us to establish a sense of comfort and order through a routine. Families can plan together with a daily schedule that represents household needs, learning time, and personal needs, allowing student voice and choice in the process. Follow the steps below to create a schedule that has the flexibility to meet individual and household needs.”

The last page of the document has even more resources for parents to help support learning at home. Thank you to WAVA and to the Nebraska Department of Education for this valuable and timely information.
