Prepare for the new year with parent guides

Moving to a new grade level or a new school can be stressful for both children and parents alike. Luckily, you don’t have to go through this transition alone. Education.com’s team of experienced educators and parents is here to guide you through this exciting time. 

Our parent guides detail what you can expect as kids grow and develop academically and socially this year. Inside, you’ll also find tips for supporting your child in today’s classroom, resources for social-emotional success, and ways to build a connection with their teacher.

Stay organized this school year 

Transitioning from summer days with minimal structure to school days with a fixed schedule can be tough on children. Help them get back on their feet with visual guides, such as a homework planner or a study plan. 

Plus, check out our tips for establishing a back-to-school routine. Providing kids with some consistency can help them adapt better to the new changes they’re facing this school year.

Get to know your students 

Learning is undoubtedly important, but so is nurturing a relationship with your students. Building a strong rapport with your class from the first day will help you gain their trust and respect faster. Fun icebreaker activities, like a scavenger hunt or a friendly bingo competition, will also help put kids at ease and encourage them to make new friends.
