School officials have tips to make the first week of school an easy transition for both parents and students:

• • It's important for parents to get their child on a routine. Go to bed at a certain time and get up at a certain time. 
• • Make sure to get to school on time 
• • Try not to visit your child in class so they get used to a routine. Parents are encouraged to drop off students at the curb.
