Many students are returning back to the classroom for the first time since the pandemic began! Students are likely experiencing a range of emotions, from excited to fearful. There are many ways you can help your child successfully return to in-person learning.
-
Practice/role play potentially stressful social interactions (introduction to class, meeting a new teacher, reading aloud, speaking in front of the class, etc.)
-
Remain positive! There are a lot of stressors with the return to school, but staying optimistic about the school year will increase their confidence in returning.
-
Reviewing school expectations (raising hand, mask wearing, requesting permission to leave the room, etc.)
-
Review your child’s supports in the classroom and stay connected with your child’s teachers and support staff
