Preparing for Back to School

Before you realize it, you will most likely begin to see back to school signs up at the local store, see school clothes commercials on TV, and hear more and more about getting ready for fall. This time comes quickly, and it is important that families prepare for another school year in order to have a successful year. Teacher spent many long hours preparing for another school year so that the transition is smooth and that all of the bumps are ironed out. It is important that parents take these same steps to ensure that the transition back into the school year is just as successful. It is important that students are readjusted to following a more strict and orderly schedule. Students will now have to wake up at a certain time everyday, eat at a certain time, return home at a set time, and be in bed at a set time. While this adjustment might be fairly easy for some students, it might also be more difficult for others. It is important that as parents we prepare our students for these changes, such as getting them used to the new sleeping schedule, and ensure they know what their morning routine will look like once school begins again.  With this extra preparation, we can help ensure that we all have a successful school year!
