Advice For The Parents Your child will be very nervous before their first day of school, it is normal. After a few weeks, your child will feel right at home. Elementary school is quite different from junior high, so try to prepare your child as much as you can for the upcoming changes. Students will most likely have homework every night, so encourage them to write all of their assignments in their tracker and to stay as organized as possible.
