Let’s Get Ready for Back-to-School with our handy checklist:
- Empower your kids to help with shopping the sales for back to school clothes and supplies!
- Get them to help with organizing closets!
- Work with them to donate old backpacks and supplies!
- Schedule annual doctor exam and immunizations!
- Don’t forget annual exams with the dentist and eye doctor!
- Stay on schedule with wake up and going to bed times over the summer to make the transition easier!
- Keep reading over the summer!
- Build in weekly learning activities at the museum, zoo and library!
- Offer craft time and/or science experiment type activities!
- Build in exercise everyday to replace recess time!
- Stay current with PTA/PTO meetings and school activities over the summer!
- Attend summer community events to continue to network with families from your school district!
- Attend school board meetings!
- Be active as a family in your community!
- Schedule family play dates with classmates and their families to expand the family network - meeting at the beach, park, and library as a group to build a network of support for the entire family! Children that have a huge network of support are more likely to succeed in school. Parents need to help build that network to ensure the family is involved in education!
