• Attend planned events such as orientation<br />
and meet the teacher to give your<br />
child an opportunity to “break the ice”<br />
from the start. Your child will feel more<br />
comfortable with his or her new and future<br />
peers, teachers and classroom.<br />
• Plan play dates with new and current<br />
friends to stay connected. Ask your<br />
school about school play date events<br />
and/or new parent connections prior to<br />
the first day of school.<br />
• Invest time to review the school's<br />
supply list and make plans to purchase<br />
the items with your child. Empowering<br />
your child to pick and choose the items<br />
from the list creates excitement.<br />
• Plan ahead and ease into the routine<br />
a few weeks ahead of time. Start<br />
setting the alarm clock a little earlier<br />
each day until you are at the time your<br />
children will need to be up for school.<br />
• End the summer with a fun family activity<br />
such as a beach day, bowling, water<br />
park or something that your children<br />
have been wanting to do all summer.<br />
While it’s always hard to get back into<br />
the school routine, it’s easiest if you plan<br />
ahead and communicate with your children<br />
as much as possible so they know<br />
exactly what to expect the first few days of<br />
school. Once the first day is done and everyone<br />
has survived, go out for ice cream<br />
or dinner to celebrate the new school year.<br />

Enrolling your child in a private school<br />
can have great benefits. From an enhanced,<br />
rigorous academic curriculum to<br />
athletics and fine arts programs, private<br />
schools come with a wealth of unique opportunities<br />
for students. Private schools<br />
also offer opportunities for parents and<br />
families to get involved by volunteering for<br />
outreach events and parental programs to<br />
support the school and its mission.<br />
If you’re considering a private school<br />
for your student’s education, you may<br />
have questions about the different<br />
benefits, costs and opportunities available<br />
at a private school.<br />
