💡 Back-to-School Tips for Families

  • Start routines early. Begin adjusting bedtimes and morning schedules at least a week before school to ease the transition.

  • Get organized. Use a family calendar or planner (like those from Simple Catholic Designs!) to track school events, activities, and appointments.

  • Create a dedicated homework space. A quiet, well-lit spot with supplies on hand helps kids focus and succeed.

  • Keep communication open. Regularly check in with teachers and counselors, and encourage your child to share their school experiences.

  • Plan easy meals ahead. Use resources like Shelby’s Dae-ly Meals or stock up at the Farmers Market for nutritious, ready-to-go options.

  • Get involved! Join your PTO, attend school events, and connect with other families to build a supportive community.

  • Prioritize self-care. Healthy meals, exercise, and downtime support mental health and academic success.
