Be sure your child receives a good night's sleep. Avoid morning rush. Make sure there is enough time in the morning for a good breakfast and send them out the door with a kiss. Write a note to the teacher with anything you think they might need to know about your child. Parents tend to descend upon the teacher on the first day of school.
