Meet the teachers
Tell teachers about your children’s interests and hobbies. Make a date to visit teachers’ classrooms; don’t wait for Back-to-School Night or parent-teacher conferences to open the lines of communication. Provide teachers with your phone numbers and e-mail addresses.

School bus safety
School-bus accidents actually are surprisingly rare. When they do happen, they’re often in the first two months of the school year, when kids are anxious or excited, and less likely to be cautious when getting on or off the bus.
Riding the bus is 12 times safer than walking, biking, or riding in a car to school.

Getting ready for back to school.
In preparation for back to school, move bedtime and wake time up by 15 minutes starting two to three weeks before the first day of the new routine.
Every few days, make them another 15 minutes earlier.

Keep back to school papers in order
Get Papers in order for back to school. While you’re calling the school, ask what paperwork your child will need to start. Take care of any missing vaccinations or forms ASAP, then gather all the papers in a large, clearly marked envelope or file and photocopy everything.

starting in a new school
If you have moved or your child is moving up to a new school, call and find out when you can come in and tour the school. Everyone will breathe easier if they know where they are going the first day.
