Tips to Help Your Students
- Establish a bedtime routine a few weeks before school begins to help students adjust to a school schedule.
- Establish a morning routine as well to help students adjust to waking on time and preparing for the school day.
- Set up a place where your students will work on school each day.
- Stock up on essential school supplies: pencils instead of pens, eraser, crayons or markers, spiral notebook for math and other subjects, graph paper, protractor, and ruler.
- Students should get into a school routine where most school days they are working when their teachers are on duty. Begin this routine on our first day, and continue it throughout the school year.
