As we prepare for the 2nd Term of the 2024/25 academic year at Riverside Academy, here Is a comprehensive checklist to ensure your child is ready for a smooth and successful start:
School Resumption Date
The 2nd Term begins on Wednesday, 8 January 2025.
Check School Shoes
Ensure your child’s school shoes fit well and are in good condition.
The school policy prescribes black footwear (sandals with back buckles, trainers, or formal shoes), except on Thursdays, when children can wear footwear of any colour with their PE kit.
Inspect School Bags and Stationery
Check your child’s school bag for wear and tear; replace it if needed.
Restock essential stationery such as pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, and exercise books.
Review School Uniforms
Inspect all school uniforms for signs of wear or damage.
Mend any torn parts or replace items that no longer fit or are excessively worn.
PE Kit and Accessories
Ensure your child’s PE kit is clean, complete, and ready for use on Thursdays.
Replace any missing or damaged items like socks or sports shoes.
Transport Arrangements
Plan and confirm your child’s drop-off and pick-up arrangements with reliable transportation options.
Communicate clearly with your designated transport provider or carpool group to ensure punctuality.
Smart Cards for Attendance
Inspect existing smart cards and replace any that are lost or damaged to ensure smooth attendance management.
Lunch Boxes and Food Containers
Provide your child with an airtight, thermal lunch box to keep meals warm until lunchtime.
Opt for containers that are easy to clean and durable.
Health, Hygiene, and Hydration Essentials
Stock up on face masks (if needed), hand sanitisers, and tissues to promote good hygiene habits.
Ensure your child carries a refillable water bottle daily to stay hydrated during the dry season. Encourage regular water breaks to avoid dehydration.
Note that water is sold at the school bookshop to refill water bottles when needed.
Academic Readiness
Encourage your child to review previous term work and prepare for the new term.
Label all items, including uniforms, bags, and stationery, to avoid loss.
