Let's Go Back to School

CK & GK's best tips for a successful back-to-school season

✅ For middle + high school teachers: reach out to your students’ families and introduce yourself the first week of class (or before school, if possible). Parents are much more likely to partner with you if their first interaction with you is positive!

MS + HS Teachers: Say "Hi"

🤝 Team up with fellow parents and teachers! Join parent-teacher associations or online communities to share advice, resources, + triumphs. Together, we can conquer any academic challenge and create a supportive village for our learners! 🏫

Parents & teachers, unite

📝🗓️ Calendars, unite!

Any time you get a notice about a family event, add it to your calendar IMMEDIATELY.

Then, sync your family's schedules with a shared online calendar to keep everyone on the same page. Color-code by kid, activity, deadline, or event for a visually pleasing + organized masterpiece.

No more missed field trips or soccer games!

Sync up your family calendars

Hey Parents! Got a sleepy kid at the end of the preschool day?

It's normal! They'll adjust after about a week or two.

In the meantime, avoid the dreaded 15-minute nap with a snack in the car + a fun song to keep them awake. And deep breaths.

Beware the 15-minute nap

For families w/rising 6th graders: this is when many kids start experimenting w/makeup.

Help your kids out by
💋 shopping for the proper tools + products
💋 booking a makeup lesson
💋 practicing application
*before* school starts.

Your student (+ their school picture) will thank you. 😊

Support new hygiene and beauty routines

🚌 Plot the perfect route! Familiarize yourself with the school's drop-off and pick-up procedures. Master the art of navigating carpool chaos with a few secret shortcuts. You'll become a transportation ninja in no time! 🚗💨 ⁠

Plan the route to school

🎒 Study space SOS! Create a clutter-free oasis for your scholar-in-training. Colorful bins, desk organizers, + a sprinkle of inspiration can transform chaos into an A-grade study zone.⁠
⁠
Get ready for academic zen vibes! 🌈✨⁠

Create a peaceful study space

🌞 Summer's swan song is near! Ease the transition from beach vibes to textbooks by gradually reintroducing routines a week before school starts. It's almost time to bid farewell to late nights and hello to early mornings. 📚

Reintroduce routines early
