Advice
1. If this is a new school both parents need to visit the school ahead of time, meet the staff, explore the building and ask specific questions.
2. Talk to your child ahead of time so the student (s) understand what you expect of them especially if they are seniors or freshmen.
3. Have a good positive breakfast with the child and express excitement about the coming event.
4. Review with them the school and classroom rules and how they apply to them.
5. Make sure they have any emergency numbers names and addresses. 
6. Check to see if they have the right materials, school supplies and books to insure success.
7. Let them know that you will be there for them in case of bullying and any form of harassment.
8. Impress on them that the primary reason for school is to obtain an education that will benefit them in their future.
9. Don't let the first day be the only time you communicate with them! Talk to them about their day and how they are doing in class. Be specific in your questions.
