What are you using for a basking bulb? He needs a solid bright white bulb that keeps temps of what I posted earlier-- Flukers basking -- Arcadia Halogen-- and Exo Terra Intense bulbs are good but you need the digital probe thermometer to get that temp
This is what I am using. Here is his current tank set up from afar he stays in his tree pretty much all day.

I see the stick on for temp/humidity --- you want 2 digital probe thermometers Zoo Med makes them - you want a digital probe hygrometer Exo Terra Digital Hygrometer | Dubia.com
place this on the center back wall -- optimal humidity 40-50%
hes not getting any UVB -- its thru a screen and the distance is too high-- please get the UVB as soon as possible - I can post 2 more for you if you want me too links if you need them

I think it is great you want to do the best for your little one. What grade do you teach? This could be a great opportunity for a research paper on bearded dragon husbandry, depending on age. Way back in the day, my daughter had to write a research paper. She wanted a parakeet and I told her she needed to know how to properly care for one before we purchased one. She aced the paper and provided excellent care because of it for almost 7 years. Cancer took Koori, which no amount of care could have prevented. RIP Koori.

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
