We are counting down the days until the first day back at Arco Iris Spanish Immersion school, and we can’t wait to see our students - new and returning, back on campus for the 2024-2025 school year! Our tuition-free rigorous curriculum sets our students up for success in middle school, high school and beyond. To prepare for the first day on August 26, we encourage our Arco Iris families to get into a routine for a strong start to the school year.
Check out our 5 tips to get the most out of the start of the school year:
1. Establish a Reasonable Bedtime
Before we know it, our students will be arriving for that 8:15 a.m. drop-off, and their evenings will be filled with studying and fall sports. Now is the time to make the gradual switch to the school year sleep schedule to support your child’s brain power; helping them focus on Singapore math, or crushing it in our spanish-immersive classroom. Begin moving up bedtime by a few minutes each night to prepare for an earlier wake-up time.
2. Reconnect with School Friends
Diversity and inclusion are a big part of Arco Iris Immersion School, and staying connected with school friends is an important part of summer. Foster their friendships and help ease the transition back to this school year.
3. Back-to-School Inventory
Avoid a last minute scramble, and take a back-to-school inventory of your child’s supplies. Check our updated 2024-25 School Supply List to get a jump start for the new school year. To purchase everything with one click, use our Arco Iris Spanish Immersion Supply List on teacherlists.com.
4. Get Organized
Make sure you are familiar with the upcoming calendar to keep track of important dates, and if you’re new to Arco Iris Spanish Immersion school, make sure you are signed up for our communication platform Parent Square.
5. Remember to Breathe
This one is for our parents and students! As the summer comes to a close, we want to make sure all of our Arco Iris families enjoy their final days before returning to the hustle and bustle of the school year. We are here for you if you have any questions as we ramp up for the new school year.
