Countdown to grade school
Three weeks before schoolVisit the school. If you've moved over the summer or your child will be switching schools for another reason , ease the transition by visiting her new school together now . Spend some time at the playground so your gradeschooler can start to feel at home. If the school building is open give her an informal tour, sitting down in the lunchroom (bring a banana or something else to snack on), looking at the library and gymnasium, and pointing out the bathrooms . Get a class list (or at least a few names and numbers) from the principal, and arrange a couple of playdates so your child can get to know her new classmates and spend time with kids she may know , but who weren't in her previous class . Some schools sponsor backtoschool picnics or potlucks for students and their parents; if yours doesn't, consider organizing your own potluck or pizza party on the school playground (with permission) or at a nearby park.
Two weeks before schoolTake a clothing inventory. Before the final rush to get everything ready for the new school year , check your child's wardrobe to see what still fits, what works for school , and which new fall clothes she'll need . When you have a detailed list , take her shopping so she can pick out one or two special pieces of clothing, a few new headbands or socks, and of course, some new school shoes or sneakers . If you know who your child's teacher will be, suggest that she write a letter introducing herself. She can tell the teacher about some of her favorite activities and books, and perhaps include details about what she did this summer . Writing a letter is also a good opportunity to tell the teacher your child's nickname, if she has one; this way, she'll be able to make her feel at home right from the start
