Also make sure to set expectations for this school year. If you want your child to make their own lunch this year, then make sure they know that and help them follow through with it.

I always like to make sure that my kids get an extra special welcome home during their first week of school. I like to have a great snack ready for them and a happy smile since the first week can be kind of hard.
