Back-to-School-Tips-for-Parents image

Dear Families,

 

It is hard to believe that summer vacation is almost over, and another exciting school year is about to begin. We hope your family had a wonderful summer. As you embark on this new journey we hope you are recharged and ready to start a new school year.

 

Preparations for a new school year can be overwhelming and the transition to the regular routine of the school week can be a challenge. Some adjustments to your family's personal habits, mental preparation, and simple organization of your supplies can boost your confidence as you start the year ahead. Use the activities in this collection to plan ahead and practice first day routines together.

 

Utilice estas actividades para ayudar a preparar a los niños para el regreso a la escuela.

 

 You can find additional resources at pbs.org/parents, a trusted PBS source.

 

Please reach out to us any time at education@klrn.org.

 

With appreciation,

KLRN Education Team
