Parents and carers have a crucial role in supporting their child's learning at home and at school.

Northern Territory schools may occasionally close due to health or environmental reasons.

Where a child is learning from home due to closures or direction by a health professional to self-isolate or quarantine, schools will provide learning to support the continuation of learning from home.

Some of the areas to consider when leading learning from home are:

• caring for the health and wellbeing of your family
• establishing routines and expectations
• creating a safe learning environment including online safety
• maintaining regular communication with your child, teacher and school.

• advice to families if providing learning at home
• strategies for engaging parents in the learning process.
