Here is a general checklist for parents of secondary school children:
-
School supplies: Make sure your child has all necessary school supplies, including textbooks, notebook, pen, pencil, calculator, etc.
-
Backpack: Purchase a new backpack or check the old one for any wear and tear.
-
Clothes: Ensure your child has appropriate attire for school, including uniforms if required.
- Don't forget to label all their uniform with the Stamptastic Personalised Name Stamps and Stamptastic Ink Pad because secondary school uniform is expensive!
- School schedule: Get a copy of your child's schedule and make sure they understand their daily routine.
- Technology: Check that your child has a functioning laptop or tablet and all necessary cables.
- Lunch/Snacks: Prepare or purchase healthy lunch options and snacks for your child.
- Transportation: Arrange for a safe and reliable way for your child to get to and from school.
- Communication: Keep in touch with your child's teacher and discuss any concerns you may have.
- Extracurricular activities: Encourage your child to participate in extracurricular activities that interest them.
- Bedtime routine: Establish a consistent bedtime routine to ensure your child gets enough sleep.
Remember, every child and school is different, so make sure to check with the school for specific requirements or recommendations.
