Good luck to students returning to the classroom for the first time since June. Today is the first day of school.
Starting the year on the right foot can make a big difference by the end of the school year. And parents can do plenty to help their kids get back on track for success.
Help students establish a routine by going to bed on time and waking up in time for the bus stop. Help each other and make mornings a breeze by doing things like making lunch the night before, so getting out the door is a little easier. Regularly check-in with your child, and teachers, and understand what students are learning in school.
No one likes to do work at home. But setting aside time to take care of homework within your after-school routine is essential to staying on top of class material. Work through challenges together and keep encouraging your students to push through. Take a break if you need to and come back to homework later with a new perspective.
