How Parents Can Prepare For School Resumption

After about two months of holiday, schools across the country are set for resumption and parents must begin to prepare themselves and wards in that direction. In Lagos State, all public primary and secondary Schools will reopen on September 5. As parents, there are certain preparations that are needed to make the resumption easier and without much difficulty.  

Here are five ways parents can prepare for their children’s school resumption.

Purchase the school needs  

If you haven’t started shopping for school supplies, this is a good time to start. Take it few items in a day and before long you will be done. Get a list of the supplies the children will require for the new class.

Do a thorough review of last term activities

A thorough review of last term or session activities will aid you in setting goals and making choices for the new term.  As a parent, determine which clubs the children should join and where they require help. 

Also, set goals for the new school year, share with the children strategies for achieving those goals and do not forget to remain committed to those goals.

Draft a schedule with your children.

Being able to foresee deadlines gives children a sense of control over their lives. Start by discussing daily, weekly, and monthly schedules.

Agree on routines, school extracurricular and social activities, and other events that you and your child would like to pursue.

Gradually end some holiday habits

Bring some holiday habits like sleep times, screen times, play times etc  to a gradual close  so that children do not have much difficulty adjusting when school resumes. This routine helps parents and their wards to prepare themselves for school resumption.

Have a resumption day mimic.

If possible a day before resumption, make the children wake up as they would on a school day and try getting ready for school. With this, you are able to know how feasible it will be to make it for school on the resumption day and as well make necessary adjustments and this is indeed a good way for parents and their wards to prepare for school resumption.
