Dr. Mishra's Back-to-School Tips

Waitsburg School District Superintendent Dr. Jon Mishra reached out to The Times about offering some back-to-school suggestions for parents and students as they begin thinking about coming back to school.

-Start getting back into school year sleep patterns.

-Establish meal times that coincide with school meals. We don’t want kids missing breakfast, whether they eat at home or at school.

-Get out and get some activity.

-Pull a book off the shelf.

-Parents should start thinking about what the school year routine will look like and get ahead of it. It’s hard with harvest and fair and other things going on. There’s a lot of transition and a proactive plan is helpful.

-Be sure to get registered the week of Aug. 21-24. Mon., Wed., Thurs from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. and Tues. from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.

-School supplies are covered for all ages, through the Home and School Association. Students only need to bring a backpack.

-The district is committed to free preschool for all Waitsburg students. Call (509) 544-5704 for more information.
