Most students will return to class on September 3rd, the day after Labour Day.
Director of Schools for Anglophone East Pamela Wilson says if your kids have been staying up later than unusual all summer, it’s time to get them back on track.
“Back to the bedtime routine needed to get up in the morning and feel rested for their return to school. Having an established and earlier bedtime routine leading up to that week, starting anytime now, will really help them, “Wilson says.
She says sleep is especially important for the younger ones who are starting Kindergarten. They will benefit from feeling rested, and it will help get them through their day..
“Parents can also help by talking to their children and finding out any concerns and by reassuring their children by having a positive outlook about school. Any major concerns beyond that normal stress should be shared with the school, so that parents can work closely with them to get their child set up,” Wilson says.
