August is National Back to School Month. To prepare, the Keene Family YMCA is sharing three ways you can make sure your back-to-school season is a success!
Enroll in Afterschool Programming Today
When school is out, the Y is in! In honor of National Back to School Month, the Y wants to remind you of all our great afterschool programming, to ensure your child is taken care of before or after their school day! The Y is also a great place for the kids to be during school vacation days, teacher workshops or snow days. Visit https://keeneymca.org/programs-classes/school-age-programs/ to learn more.
Communicate Routines and Expectations
The Y wants your family to be prepared for back-to-school season! Here is your friendly reminder to make sure you have everything on your child’s classroom supply list, reset those summer bedtimes well before the big day and communicate any changes in routine with the entire family. Here are some helpful back-to-school parent tips from both the Department of Education and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Help Our Schools & Students Stock Up!
From crayons to notebooks, many classrooms, and the students who fill them, are in need of school supplies this time of year! In celebration of National Back to School Month, the Keene Family YMCA invites you to seek out a local school supply drive or donate school supplies to your local SAU.
Here’s to a happy, healthy and safe back-to-school season!
