Timings and Schedules:

Important Reminders:
- Uniform and ID cards: Make sure your child has their school uniform and ID card ready. These are mandatory for entry and attendance.

Adapting to Routine:
- Early sleep and wake-up: The extended break may have disrupted sleep schedules. Encourage your child to get back to their regular sleep and wake-up times to avoid fatigue in the classroom.
- Healthy breakfast: A nutritious breakfast is crucial for focus and energy throughout the day. Prepare a healthy breakfast for your child before school.
- Positive attitude: Remind your child to approach the new term with a positive and optimistic attitude. Encourage them to set goals and look forward to learning new things.
