School-Day Checklist

As the first day nears

(HealthDayNews) -- As a new school year gets underway, the American Academy of Pediatrics offers this checklist for your child's first few days back:

  • Have you filled out all the health forms or emergency contact forms that have been sent home?
  • Is your child registered? What time does school start?
  • How is your child getting to school? Have you reviewed safety precautions with her regarding traffic and strangers?
  • Can your child buy lunch at school, and how much will it cost?
  • Are there any restrictions on what clothes your child may wear?
  • If your child has to take medication at school, have you made arrangements for this?
