  10. 10 Tips for Online Student SUCCESS! • Establish a school day routine • at least 1hr per course per day, with small breaks in between, much like a real school day. • Be organized – use pacing calendars, keep notebooks, stay on track • Eliminate distractions • no social media, text messaging, loud environments • set aside the time, nobody bothers you, focus on schoolwork only. • Check your emails and announcements EVERY DAY! • keep your own calendar for important due dates • Take Notes • while listening to video lectures, or from text while reading. • Check your grades and teacher feedback – will help you on retakes or resubmission directions.

  11. 10 Tips for Online Student SUCCESS! • Ask for help! • Call, email, or text the teacher as soon as you get stuck on something! • Don’t give up! • Take advantage of retakes, redo’s and resubmissions. • Attend live online video tutoring sessions. • Each teacher has a different schedule. • If you miss a session, watch the recording! • Avoid plagiarism / cheating. • Do not ‘copy & paste’ work from the internet. • Do not submit another student’s work as your own. • If you do, you will be subject to the disciplinary procedures of Henry County Schools, academic probation, up to removal from Impact Academy.
