Some of those preparations for new schools can be as simple as having your box of eight crayons or ruled white notebook paper, but others deal with the emotions of students like familiarity of building layouts and meeting teachers. Local school instructors were asked for advice on how to prepare children for these transitions to the three major school changes from that very first day of kindergarten to beginning middle school in sixth grade and starting as a freshman in high school. Be sure your child is immunized. Children are not permitted to enter school in the state of Georgia without appropriate immunization. Make sure your child can physically manage going to the bathroom, particularly the buttoning and unbuttoning or zipping and unzipping of clothing.
Elastic pants work great.
But not things with straps that hook over the shoulder. If the kids can manage their clothes, great, but most of them can't. Teach them to tie their shoes, and double knot them to avoid having to retie them over and over during the day. Teach your child to blow his nose, wipe it and put the tissues in the trash can. Work with your child on how to sit in a group and listen to a story for 10 to 15 minutes.
