When schools announced that students would be returning to in-person school, making the 2021–2022 school year the first “normal” one in years, many families were simply happy to be back. There seemed to be a universal understanding that things would be a bit different, and everyone would need to adapt to being back in the building.As parents navigated encouraging their children to go back to in-person school, evaluating the areas where they might be struggling and recognizing the friction that can come with such a huge transition, the approach was generally quite gentle.Now that students have had a whole year to re-adjust, professionals are advocating for a more intense focus on deadlines and routines. A student’s transition to in-person learning should be supported, and any lingering social or behavioral challenges should be addressed, but a strong sense of structure around schoolwork and other learning responsibilities will ensure students do not fall back into the COVID learning slip.Leading up to the start of the coming school year, parents should have conversations with their students about what is to come, the expectations that are set and anything that a student may need to know to feel confident entering the 2022–2023 year.When School Is in Session, Parent Involvement Is KeyThough monitoring a student’s grades is a good starting point for parents looking to establish a healthy level of involvement, some students may continue to feel the longer-lasting impacts of their remote learning and any learning slip that occurred as a result.Parents can navigate securing the appropriate school-based support for their children by encouraging conversation, advocating for the child and not fearing labels.&nbsp; To build a strong foundation, a laid-back&nbsp;<a href="https://www.healthychildren.org/English/healthy-living/emotional-wellness/Building-Resilience/Pages/Creating-Positive-Experiences-for-School-Age-Children.aspx?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lessons-learned-by-parents-after-students-re-entered-the-classroom-post-covid-and-how-to-approach-the-new-school-year-2719290" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">conversation with a student</a> about what they’re enjoying in school, what they find difficult and why can reveal important nuggets of information. Grades are important, but they are not everything. Encouraging open and honest discussions about things like the student-teacher relationship, student-student relationships and any other circumstances that are not directly reflected in grades will make students feel supported while providing guardians helpful information.Remote schooling and masking combined led to key developmental struggles in students of some ages as well. For example, some younger children have lesser-developed social skills, eye contact and ability to read emotions because the faces of those around them were covered during key periods of social development.After identifying any challenges, parents should not feel ashamed to seek a diagnosis, enrichment support or any other resources that will better support a child’s learning. There are often&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cast.org/our-work/projects/understanding-effects-stigmas-stereotypes-students-learning-disabilities?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lessons-learned-by-parents-after-students-re-entered-the-classroom-post-covid-and-how-to-approach-the-new-school-year-2719290" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">stigmas surrounding supplemental education</a>, and the stigmas themselves are often more harmful than what the student is dealing with. Seeking a label or other specialized form of support is not indicating a flaw within a child; rather, it is a way for an adult to advocate for their learners, ensuring they receive the best foundation possible.Leading into the second year of in-person instruction, strong parental involvement and a willingness to work through any challenges presented by the student will be critical. While there has been an adequate adjustment period for students to become reacclimated to learning in the classroom and around other children, academic challenges are not yet fully remedied. Viewing the family unit, students and educators as a team will encourage the collaboration and support necessary to continue on an upward trajectory.
