Being prepared to return to school after summer break makes all the difference in a student’s experience. Mindset and readiness are key to helping a student feel good about themselves and the upcoming school year. Readiness comes with goal setting and identifying areas that need improvement. To be prepared, students may want to work on their time management and organizational skills.
Here are a few tips to encourage students to practice self-care, use their time wisely and stay on top of everything:
- Being well-rested-getting enough sleep fosters focus & engagement
- Being organized-create an assignment tracking system to stay on top of all homework, projects, deadlines and practice exercises
- Being prepared-have all the necessary supplies for classes, complete homework assignments and track all projects to meet deadlines
- Setting short & long-term goals
- Share the day’s activities and learning experiences at home
- Set aside a specific time & place to complete homework assignments
- Dedicate some time to review classroom lessons
- Select a book or short story to read for pleasure
