Get Ready for the New School Year

1. Stock Up on School Supplies
Make sure your child has all the necessary school supplies to start the year off right. Check with your child’s school for a list of required supplies.
2. Review the School Calendar
Be sure to review the school calendar for important dates, holidays, and school events throughout the year.
3. Get Back into a Routine
Start getting back into a school routine a week or two before the first day. This will help ease the transition from summer break to the school year.
