StuffSmart's Ten tips for getting your kids ready to go back to school
- Keep reading through the summer. Many retailers and local libraries offer summer reading programs.
- Sneek in educational games to keep math, history and other subjects fresh in your child's mind.
- Have you child make a memory box of the past school years' work and accomplishments. This can be fun and serve as a review.
- Check the school website and make sure to keep up with school supply lists, dress codes etc.
- Involve your child in gathering supplies for back to school.
- Make sure to fit your child's backpack and stock it with needed supplies.
- Designate a place for your child's coat, backpack etc so there is no searching when the first day of school gets here or for the entire school year.
- Go through clothing and decide what is needed to shop for school clothes meeting the dress code requirements.
- Purchase needed supplies (see previous post)
- Get your child back on schedule a few wks before school starts by resuming school bedtime, wake for school and eating breakfast/lunch at times that will be followed during the school year.
