You should make sure your children have their school supplies, such as pencils, pens, notebooks, and other necessary items. 2 Make sure they are familiar with the route from home to school so that they know where they will be going each day. 3 Prepare them for what to expect at the beginning of the year, including any new teachers or classmates. 4 Talk to them about how to behave in class and remind them to stay focused on learning. 5 Let them know it is important to listen carefully and follow instructions given by teachers and staff. 6 Encourage them to ask questions if they don't understand something during class.
