Day 2 of school for many districts in the area.

Waking up for the first day can be easy as students might be filled with excitement. The second day can be hit or miss.

Keep this in mind this evening:
Wednesday is likely going to be a difficult day to get out of bed as the excitement of the new school year fades.

Keep consistent with a reasonable bed time:
Developing a good routine for the school year makes life easier.

🏫 🎒
If today is your high school student's first day of school, please keep in mind:
​
⚡The first day of high school is a shock to the emotional system.
🦥 They likely spent the last 2 months moving at their own pace.
⇄ Today, they were rushed into place while trying to understand each teacher’s classroom rules.
🤯A lot of information to absorb; little time to process.
​
A parent’s first instinct might be to immediately ask, “How was your day?” 😍
What high school students really need is quiet time to decompress. ⏳

Check in with them, read their mood, and decide if they need:
1) 🗫 Someone to talk to right away
2) 🫂 Someone who will listen when their emotions have stabilized
​
Enjoy the excitement of the new school year, but be the sounding board your child needs… ⚠️ probably not immediately as they enter the house.

Bring your kid to work day!

My son wasn’t very interested in networking, so he decided to make my QR code into a maze.

He beat the maze up/down and left/right.

What is on your agenda for this final weekend before school begins?

I'm going to navigate a fun weekend with my wife, my son, and my dog that will include a trip to a park. Few things are more relaxing than a picnic and staring up at the blue sky.

🤞 Hopefully the weather will cooperate

I briefly tested this and AI isn't advanced enough to detect this grammar error:
​
PIN = Personal Identification Number
* No need to say PIN number; just PIN 🔢
​
​
ATM = Automated Teller Machine
* No need to say ATM machine; just ATM 💸
​
​
UPC = Universal Product Code
* No need to say UPC code; just UPC 𝄃𝄃𝄂𝄀𝄁𝄃𝄂𝄂𝄃
​
​
ACT = American College Test
* No need to say ACT test; just ACT ✏️
​
​
This is call RAS Syndrome (Redundant Acronym Syndrome).

The time is close
It is quite clear
The end of summer break
Is almost here

If you're a teacher, it's a week of sitting in meetings hearing things you likely already know. 🥱

If you're a parent, make sure those supply lists are fulfilled. 💵

If you're a student, go outside and enjoy the weather. ☀️

There is nothing wrong with relaxing and taking time for yourself, but if you haven't had too much physical exercise during the current heat wave, I hope you have kept your brain active.
