1) The Night Before
Back to school eve is just as important as the first day of school. Make sure you鈥檙e ready for the big day before you go to bed. You don鈥檛 want to have to scramble to get everything ready in the morning when you鈥檙e trying to get out the door. So, have the backpack ready, clothes picked out and breakfast planned the night before. The more prepared you can be the better.听听

And remember, getting a good night鈥檚 sleep sets the tone for a smooth back-to-school morning.听听
2) Fuel Your Brain听
After you get that good night of sleep and are ready to start the morning, it鈥檚听time for the most important meal of the day. A nutritious breakfast 鈥 whether at home or school 鈥撎齣s the right way to jumpstart the first day back at school. 91制片厂 provides breakfast and lunch at each campus, and you can check out the听听and pay for meals听.听听
3) Be Ready for the Traffic
Traffic will be bad. It always is on the first day. And drop-off and pick-up may take longer than it will the rest of the year. So, give yourself plenty of time. It鈥檚 a good idea to add some extra time in your morning routine and leave home earlier than usual.
Rember, elementary times are 8:10 a.m. to 3:35 p.m., junior high times are 8:45 to 4:10 p.m. and high school times are 7:35 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can see a complete list of calendars and important dates听here.听
4) Create Memories听
Whether your child is heading into pre-K or senior year, be sure to snap some memories with a 鈥渇irst day of school鈥 pic. Before you know it, they鈥檒l be walking the stage at graduation, and you don鈥檛 want to miss a moment. Show off your students to your friends and family using the hashtag听#ArlingtonISDWelcomesMe so we can share your first day of school pictures on our district social media channels.听听
5) Set the Tone
Words of affirmation, a note in your child鈥檚 lunch box or a reminder that you cannot wait to hear about their day are all ways to set your child up with a positive attitude going into the new school year. If your child is nervous, remind them to take a deep breath and exhale. There are games to play, friends to make and many fun things to learn.
Have an amazing first day back to school!听听
