Getting Ready to Return to School
If your child has been "sleeping in" for the past few weeks, consider beginning to adjust bedtimes and wake-up times now. A gradual progression of getting up slightly earlier each week between now and the first day of school might help with the transition. Remember that most middle school students will be boarding buses between 7:20 and 7:35 each day. Specific bus routes will be available at www.hcps. org
Also over the summers, students sometimes become accustomed to checking their phones on a regular basis - whether it be to look at the time or to see who may have reached out to them or read other news or announcements. This can become a distraction in the classroom and students will be asked to refrain from using phones in class. They can leave phones in their lockers, their pockets or binders, and teachers will also have "parking spots" for phones to reduce the temptation to check them frequently.
Finally, you might want to get a head start on the year by completing some of those first day forms! See below for links and information on how to get a start on those forms!
