Back to School

Tips for Parents:

  • Meet the new teacher - Take advantage of your school's open house.  Give yourself and your child the chance to meet their new teacher before starting school.
  • Tour the school - Help your child become familiar with their new class or school to help calm nerves.
  • Tool up - Obtain a class supply list and take a special shopping trip with your child.  You can also visit the Back to School Marketplace on Aug. 20, 2018 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. to pick up some items, play games, win prizes, and get haircuts.  Event takes place at the D&R Event Center at 122 E Heron St. in Aberdeen.
  • Chat about today's events and tomorrow's plans - Take time to learn about your child's day.
  • Ease into the routine - Avoid mayhem by practicing your routine a few days in advance.  Routines help children feel comfortable and will make the first day go more smoothly.
