The first day of school is just around the corner. So what do you as a parent need to do to get "Johnny" ready? Remember, every parent experiences anxiety regardless if their son is starting nursery school or high school. The key to guiding your son is preparation and a calm spirit. Tell yourself that it is a process and that life experiences such as a new school year is a series of many small steps, one following another. Here is a simple guideline that may help you after you take a deep breath.
Use this checklist as a springboard and then add your own items:
- Access son's course schedule (July home mailing)
- Order books at http://www.varsity.com/
- Read the Mount Book (the large school calendar containing all the rules/regulations) regarding dress code.
- Buy dress code shoes, dress pants, shirts, ties, and school santioned MSJ polo shirts(available at the school Bookstore whose hours of operation are posted on school website).

Parent groups are so vital to the success of our schools. Teachers love parent volunteers and the support they give to our mission.
Thanks for your help!
It appears you have a very active parent group. I wish we could get more parents to take an interest in their childs education.
