As the new school year approaches, preparation is key to ensuring a smooth transition back into the routine. Here’s some advice tailored for parents, children, and schools:

💥For Parents:

📌Establish Routines Early:

Gradually shift bedtime and wake-up times to match the school schedule.

Reinforce morning and evening routines, such as packing bags and laying out clothes the night before.

📌Open Communication:

Discuss expectations, goals, and concerns with your child. Address any anxieties they may have about returning to school.

Stay in touch with teachers and school administrators to be aware of any changes or requirements.

📌Organize Supplies:

📌Encourage a Positive Mindset:

Highlight the excitement of learning new things and meeting friends.

Reinforce a growth mindset, emphasizing effort and learning over grades.

📌 Prioritize Early Payment of School Fees: It is very essential and beneficial to prioritize the early payment of school fees and other associated expenses before resumption. This singular act will go a long way at boosting the overall wellbeing - emotional, psychological and intellectual stability and self-esteem of your children throughout the new academic year.

📌Organize orientation sessions for new students and parents to familiarize them with the school environment.

📌Supportive Learning Environment: Keep classrooms, laboratories, libraries, lavatories, playground or sports ground, workshops and the entire school premises clean, refreshed, conducive, safe and well-ventilated.

Foster an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and supported.

Be prepared to offer extra support for students who may struggle with the transition back to school. 

📌Staff Preparedness:

Organize professional development sessions for teachers to refresh their skills and discuss strategies for the new school year.

Ensure all staff members are aware of the school's policies and any new protocols.

📌 Prioritize Staff Welfare and Wellbeing: Prioritize staff joy and happiness by 

implementing policies and initiatives that support the financial, mental and emotional well-being of staff such as prompt payment of salaries, rewards, awards, promotion and encouraging continuous professional development.

Provide resources or workshops on coping strategies and stress management.

By focusing on these key areas, parents, children, and schools can ensure a smooth and successful transition back to school.
