Back to School Time

Preparations are underway for the start of a new school year. This week, the teachers in our county return to their classrooms, and next week the students will be back for a new school year.

In 2017 I had written a post about returning to school and I think it would be a good time to see it again. You can read the post here: Return to School.

This year may be a little different because you may have some students returning from virtual school last year. Please be patient because they may need time to readjust to the school culture. They may need reminders about appropriate behaviors and schedules. I think it is important to remind those students who were in school in person at the end of last year to be patient and welcoming to those who were in school online.

I would also spend the last couple of minutes checking with students on how they are doing. Find out what problems or concerns they have. They might not be having any problems but it is good to know that someone cares, Coming back to school can be a stressful time for all.

What other advice would you give to those returning to school? Please share.
