Well, here we are, midway through August and time to get our heads ready for back to school. One item to check off your list might be that summer reading assignment you have been putting off. Go on, dig in and read! But, parents/guardians and teachers have to get ready too, so here are a few of my favorite resource links with some great ideas:
- Back-to-School Transitions: Tips for Parents from the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP)–make sure your child is healthy. Get your medical and dental appointments scheduled before school begins, and don’t forget the pertussis (Tdap) vaccination requirement for Grade 7 – 12 students.
- Back to School: Tips for Parents of Children with Special Needs also need to organize. LD Online shares eight helpful tips to ease the jitters.
- Scholastic Books has a special planning guide for teachers full of resources, tips, and free material. Don’t forget to update your classroom library too and level your books; get help at Teacher Book Wizard.
Enjoy your last few days. Then, be ready to hit the books, reconnect with friends, meet new friends, and have a great school year.
