How To Prepare To Return To School After Spring Break

If they haven’t already, it won’t be long before students start counting down to one of the most coveted times of the school year…SPRING BREAK!

As a former full-time teacher, I remember how excited students (and teachers) were in knowing that Spring Break was just around the corner. It was going to be a great time to kick back, stay up until the wee hours, sleep in late, travel, relax, and basically change up the weekly grind of the normal school routine.

One thing is for sure, no matter how much or little happened during the vacation, it always flew by in the blink of an eye. Here are three ideas to help make the transition as smooth as possible, and hopefully take the sting out of heading back to school:
​
  1. Don’t procrastinate Be sure to diligently work on any assignments or projects that need to be completed over break. Create a schedule to chip away at the work every day, and then stick to it. This will go a long way to avoid the stress of it hanging over your head during the break; not to mention the pressure of cramming to get it all done at the last minute. Having the work completed a few days before break ends means that the last weekend can be just as relaxing as the first.
  2. Have fun! Even if there is school work to be done, be sure to enjoy the downtime. Spring Break is a great chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy some much needed rest. Not only is the perfect time to unwind after the hard work so far, but an opportunity to find that umph needed to finish out the school year on top of the game!
  3. Ease back into a regular routine You should start at least 3-4 days before the break ends. This means going to bed and waking on a normal school day schedule. Once that alarm clock rings on the first day back, it will go a long way to be well rested, and stay on schedule once your feet hit the floor.
