Your Guide to a Great School Year

/in , ,

The beginning of the school year is often a fresh start for kids. Here are a few tips for success as you approach the first few weeks of the new school year.

Well-child Appointments

Well-child checks are crucial for healthy development among children. Make sure your child has their well-child appointment before school starts or at least within the first 30 days. The beginning of the school year is a good time to bench mark your child’s development both physically and mentally. It’s also a great opportunity to discuss any concerns about the new school year with your provider.

Schedule a Sports Physical

If your child is playing sports at all this school year, they will likely need a sports physical. Most school districts provide a specific form that needs to be completed and signed off on by your child’s medical provider. Save time and check off two things on your list by scheduling your child’s sports physical and well-child check together. NOAH’s scheduling team is also happy to assist with booking a block of time for multiple children if schedules allow.

Make Sure Immunizations Are Up to Date

Schools require immunizations and they keep your child and their classmates protected from unnecessary, dangerous, and sometimes fatal diseases. Your child’s medical provider will address any needed vaccines during their well-child check. Preview recommended vaccines here in advance.

Start a Good Sleep Routine

Kids need enough sleep to develop, do well in school, and keep up with home life too. Most children need between 9-12 hours of sleep each night. It’s easy to get off schedule during summer so try to start your back to school routine at least a couple of days early to establish good sleep habits early on in the school year.

Be Physically Fit

Kids need at least one hour of exercise every day. Make sure they get enough activity whether it is walking, swimming, or playing school sports.

Get School Supplies Ready

Start the school year with a sturdy backpack loaded with plenty of supplies like notebooks, folders, pens, and pencils, etc. Opt for a backpack with a water bottle pocket to ensure your child stays hydrated throughout the day.

Talk About Bullying

Make sure your child knows about the seriousness of bullying. It can hurt people emotionally and mentally and can harm their learning. If your child is being bullied or sees another student bullied, make sure they know to tell a bully to “Stop!” and to talk to a trusted adult (teacher, counselor, nurse) at school. For bullying, depression, or other behavioral health concerns for ages 6 and up, consider meeting with a NOAH counselor.
