🎒 Day 10 of 10: The Back-to-School Countdown Ends!
The wait is finally over—tomorrow is DAY ONE! 🎉
We are so excited to welcome our students back into the classrooms. To make sure tomorrow morning runs smoothly without any missing shoes or last-minute panics, run through this quick Final Night Checklist before heading to bed tonight!
📌The Night Before Checklist 🌙✨
🎒 Pack the Backpack: Double-check that all required supplies, folder paperwork, and emergency contact details are inside.
🔋 Charge Up Devices: Plug in school-issued Chromebooks, iPads, or laptops so they are at 100% battery tomorrow morning.
👗 Lay Out Clothes: Pick out the Day 1 outfit, shoes, and socks tonight to save precious time in the morning!
🥪 Prep Lunch: If you plan to bring your lunch, freeze or pack ice packs, and set out non-perishable snacks.
⏰ Set Those Alarms: Double-check morning wake-up alarms (and maybe set a backup just in case!).
📸 Charge the Camera Phone: Make sure your phone is charged for those classic first-day-of-school front porch photos!
😴 Early Bedtime: Get a solid night’s sleep. Big energy is needed for Day 1!
💡 Pro-tip: Leave a few minutes early tomorrow morning to account for extra traffic in drop-off lines and around bus stops!
SPEAKING OF PHONES!!📸: We want to see your first day of school pictures on Monday! You can post them on the district's Facebook page or email them to gtadych@farmington.k12.mo.us. We'll share your pictures on the school district's social media throughout the day on Monday.
