7 Tips to Prepare for the First Day of School

Visit the school or classroom before the first day -  This is especially important if your child is returning to in-person learning after periods of remote learning. 

Read books about starting school -  stories with characters your child can relate to are useful for relieving the jitters of the first day and building confidence where necessary. 

Talk to your child about their feelings about school, friends, teachers, and new activities -  When discussing back-to-school, you might gauge your child’s thoughts about the classroom.  

Set intentions with your child for the school year ahead -  Just like adults make intentions for the new year, students can do the same for the new school year. 

Practice your reading during the summer -  Set up a book nook at home over the summer to develop a reading routine by fall. 

Include a note with your child's snack or lunch -  You may want to make this a daily practice to help with the transition from summer to semester.

Go school shopping -  You and your child can pick out new books during this time as well — and the titles don’t necessarily have to be about school. 

Encourage your child to pursue a passion project this year -  Gauge your child’s interests at the end of summer to see how their curiosity has evolved and what’s new.
