The winter break is ending, and it’s time to gently shift back into school mode. A positive, calm return helps children feel confident and helps parents start the new semester with less stress.

A new semester means new opportunities to learn, grow, and reconnect with friends. Returning to routines after the holidays can feel challenging, but with a little preparation and encouragement, students can start strong and motivated.

💛Tips for Children and Parents as School Resumes:

🛌Ease back into routines by adjusting bedtime and wake-up schedules a few days before school starts.

🗣️Talk about expectations for the new term and set simple, achievable goals together.

📚Prepare school items early such as backpacks, uniforms, and supplies to reduce first-day stress.

🥰Acknowledge feelings and remind children that it’s normal to feel excited, nervous, or both.

🥳Focus on positives like seeing friends, learning new topics, and participating in favorite activities.

A supportive home environment makes a big difference in how children approach school. Encouragement, consistency, and open communication help build confidence and readiness for the weeks ahead.

Piedmont United Family Services wishes all students a happy, healthy, and successful return to school, and all parents a smooth start to the new term.

It’s Mental Wellness Month: and your well-being matters.
Mental wellness isn’t just about “getting through the day.” It’s about having support, skills, and a plan when life feels heavy.
This month, we’re encouraging our community to:
•Check in with yourself (and each other)
•Practice small daily coping skills
•Reach out early, before things feel unmanageable

If you or your child needs support, Piedmont United Family Services (PUFS) is here to help with counseling and community-based services designed to meet you where you are.

You are not alone—and help is available.
