As the new school year approaches, it’s time to get your Huskies excited and prepared for another year of learning and growth at Hemlock Public School District.
To help with the transition, here are seven tips to get your kids ready to hit the ground running:
Ease Back Into Routines: Start adjusting bedtimes and wake-up times to match the school schedule. Establishing a consistent routine now will make the change easier when the school year begins.
Talk About the Year Ahead: Sit down with your kids and discuss what they’re looking forward to and the goals they want to achieve this year. Setting personal goals is a great motivator!
Practice the Commute: If your child is new to Hemlock or using a new mode of transportation, take a practice run together. This helps them feel confident and ready for the first day.
Update Health Records: Double-check that vaccinations, medical, and dental records are current. Don’t forget to schedule any necessary doctor’s appointments or sports physicals.
Organize School Supplies: Make shopping for school supplies a fun outing! Let your kids help pick out what they’ll need and personalize their items to make them excited for the first day.
Label Everything: From backpacks to lunchboxes and clothing, labeling your child’s belongings ensures nothing gets lost during the busy school year.
Focus on the Fun: Get your kids excited about school by highlighting the positive parts—reconnecting with friends, participating in fun activities, and exploring new subjects. A positive outlook can help ease any back-to-school jitters.
With these tips, the transition back to school will be smooth and full of excitement. Here’s to a #Huskietastic year ahead at Hemlock.
