Better Together: How to Team with Your Child's Teacher to Make This School Year the BEST Yet!

Believe it or not, teachers have all kinds of anxieties on the first day of school, too. They spend hours of their summer setting up, writing and reviewing curriculum, looking through student files, and attending endless meetings, all before the school year begins, to ensure that our little ones are getting the best of what they have to offer. Reaching out, and showing a little empathy before school even starts, will go a long way. Something as simple as a little note, a flower, a pack of pens, or even a short email to wish them well on the first day can really set a positive tone.
