Get Ready for Back to School (2018-2019)

by Alisha Johnson, Ensley Branch Library


As the month of August is quickly approaching, parents and students are gearing up for the start of a new school year. Many stores are full of anxious parents attempting to fulfill school supply lists and kids are excited about choosing the newest color binders and pencil pouches they will use over the next nine months. However, each of these things are important, but there are some things that require the family to prepare for mentally and intellectually to achieve those high scores. Here is a list of things parents and children can do to be successful and make the most of the 2018-2019 school year:
  1. Take some time out to go over last year’s curriculum and read with your child
  2. Take the school tour with your child and “Meet the Teacher”
  3. Find out what types of activities are available for volunteering opportunities (PTA)
  4. Organize school calendars, closets, and pantry
  5. Find your local library and sign up for a library card today
  6. Prepare for a fresh start with a positive attitude
