With school reopening next week. We are sure you are busy preparing yourself and your child for the first day of school. So we decided to come
up with a generic list applicable to all parents that will help you along the way.
- Check
if your child’s registration papers are in order. Make a folder and keep all
school related paperwork here.
- Make
sure you note the time the school starts and co-ordinate with the transport for
the same
- Note
down your child’s class teacher’s name in case you need it. Make your child memorize
his/her teacher’s name
- Ask
about the first day’s schedule in advance. Most schools follow a different
routine on the first day
- What
time does the school break for lunch and snack? Pack the tiffin accordingly
- For
young children, ask if you need to pack an additional set of clothes too
- What
kind of stationary is required on the first day?
- Make
sure you fill up the diary with all health related information along with
emergency contact details for your child
- If
your child needs medication, inform the class teacher in advance about it and
remember to pack all necessary medicines along with written instructions for
the teacher
- Know
about the drop schedule in advance and be there on time to receive your child
And lastly,
talk to your child about the first day of school in a very light and positive
manner before the school reopens. With all the above points in place, we are
very sure that the first day of school will be a breeze for you and your little
one!
