How to Prepare for the First Day of School

Pack all of the Essentials

The first day of school is nerve wracking enough on its own, forgetting your school supplies won’t help the nerves one bit. Be sure to pack your school supplies. Don’t go overboard, but an extra pencil or two never hurt anybody.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Dozing off on the first day is not a good way to start the year. You’ll want to plan carefully and make sure you get at least eight hours of sleep the night before your first day back.
