Get in Gear for the New School Year:
Its almost that time of year again. Yes, in a few
weeks school will be back in session. Is your
child ready to succeed? Are you ready to help?
Its a fact: Parents who play an active role in
their childrens education make a huge differ-
ence in their success. Here are some things you
can do to help your child prepare for the up-
coming school year:
Get the children to bed on time. During the summer, children arent al-
ways on a schedule. But, proper rest is essential for a healthy and productive
school year. Help your child get used to the back-to-school routine.
Communicate with teachers and the school. Contact your childs teach-
ers at the start of the school year. Get acquainted with them and let them know
you want to be an active partner in helping your student to learn and grow.
Provide for healthy meals. Hungry kids cant concentrate on learning, so
good nutrition plays an important role in your childs school performance.
Studies show that children who eat healthy, balanced breakfasts and lunches
do better in school.
Take your child to the doctor, and make sure your child has health
insurance coverage. Its a good idea to take your child in for a physical and
an eye exam before school starts. Most schools require up-to-date immuniza-
tions, and you may be asked to provide paperwork showing that your child has
all the necessary shots and vaccines.
Prepare a study area. Set up a special place at
home to do school work and homework. Remove
distractions. Make it clear that education is a top
priority in your family: show interest and praise
your childs work.
