Back to School: Essential Reminders for Parents 🎒

Parent Walking their Child to school

As summer draws to a close and the school bells prepare to ring once more, it’s time for parents to gear up for a new academic year. The transition can be both exciting and overwhelming, but with a little preparation, you can help ensure a smooth start for your child. Here are some important reminders to keep in mind:


Check for Back to School Supplies 📝

Before the first day of school, ensure your child has all the necessary supplies. This typically includes:

  • Backpacks: A sturdy backpack is essential for carrying books and supplies comfortably.

  • Stationery: Pens, pencils, notebooks, and files are must-haves.

  • Technology: If your child needs a tablet or laptop, make sure it’s ready for use.


Spend a day with our children, see what accessories and supplies they might need. Not only will you feel closer to your child, but you will start to understand what support they might need!


Review the School Calendar 📅

Familiarize yourself with the school calendar to stay organized. Key dates to look out for include:

  • Start and end dates

  • Holidays and breaks

  • School Activities

  • Parent-teacher conferences


Discussing extracurricular activities can enhance your child’s school experience. Engage in conversations about:

  • Sports, music, art, or clubs: Encourage your child to explore their interests.

  • Balancing commitments: Ensure they don’t feel overwhelmed.


These activities can help them make new friends and develop valuable skills.

Mark these dates on your family calendar. This preparation helps you plan vacations and activities without clashing with school commitments.


Encourage Open Communication 🤝

Some schools allow teachers to open Whatsapp group with their students. If possible, building a connection with your child’s teachers can be incredibly beneficial. This helps to:

  • Establish a relationship early on.

  • Provides insights into your child’s learning style and needs.


Feel free to express any concerns or questions you may have. Collaborative communication can create a supportive environment for your child.


Encouraging open communication with your child is vital. Make it clear that they can always come to you with questions or concerns about school. Asking open-ended questions, like “What was the best part of your day?” This dialogue helps your child feel secure sharing their experiences with you.


Teaches Road Safety and Promotes Independence 🚦🚶‍♀️

One of the most important aspects of walking to school is learning about road safety, which goes hand in hand with fostering independence. If you child is starting at a new school, it is vital that parents teach their child how to go "back to school". When children learn how to cross streets safely, they

  • Recognize traffic signals, and

  • Stay aware of their surroundings,

  • Boost independence


They gain essential skills that will serve them for a lifetime. This newfound independence not only boosts their confidence in navigating their route but also encourages them to take on other responsibilities as they grow. By mastering the art of safe walking, children reinforce their self-esteem while promoting responsible behavior when out and about. 🌟


Conclusion 🎉

As we welcome a new school year, remember that preparation is key to success. By keeping these reminders in mind, you’ll help set the stage for a productive and enjoyable year ahead. Here’s to a fantastic school year filled with growth, learning, and new adventures!
