The first day back to school is often an emotional time, both for students, parents and teachers. To prepare yourself well and ensure that this day passes in the best possible conditions, I will give you some practical advice.

1. For students

First of all, it is crucial to prepare your things the day before. For students, this means checking that the bag is complete with all necessary supplies: textbooks, notebooks, pens, and any other required documents. Choosing a comfortable and appropriate outfit for the first day is also important. Choose clothes in which you feel comfortable and confident. In order not to feel lost on the big day, familiarize yourself with your schedule and the locations where your classes will take place. 

The day before school starts, you're either nervous or excited, so it helps to relax and make sure you get a good night's sleep. A balanced diet in the morning, such as a nutritious breakfast, will give you the energy you need to start the day off right. Adopting a positive attitude and being open to new encounters and challenges will go a long way towards a successful start to the school year, which would define your school year.

2. For parents

For parents, it is advisable to organize the preparations well before the first day, to avoid any kind of financial or other surprises. This includes checking school supplies, clothing, and meals. Establish a sleep routine by adjusting bedtimes and waking times in advance to help your children adjust more easily to the school schedule. It is also helpful to discuss with your children what they can expect from the first day and to listen to their concerns to reassure them.

Preparing healthy snacks and meals is another way to support your children throughout their day. Also make sure you plan the journey to school, whether by checking transport times or arranging a ride, especially if it's their first time back.
