Preparing for a Great Year!

1. Make sure you're set for the school year: If you haven't already, now's the time to grab your curriculum if you're homeschooling independently or to submit your application if you're planning to enroll (before the August rush). Having everything finalized now will save you from the stress of last-minute scrambling later on.

2. Design or prepare your homeschooling space: Set aside a dedicated space for learning, and make supplies easily accessible to ensure the space is comfortable and engaging. Click here for more tips on setting up your homeschooling space.

3. Celebrate Box Day: The arrival of your materials is the unofficial kickoff of your homeschool year. Mark the moment, and share it with the hashtag #OMBoxDay.

4. Look through the curriculum: Give yourself plenty of time to review your curriculum materials so you can gather supplies and jump into the first day of school fully prepared.

5. Develop a routine: Create a daily and weekly rhythm that fits your family, keeping in mind that you can always make adjustments.

6. Take back-to-school pictures: Capture the excitement of the first day of school with a photo, and dive right into another outstanding Oak Meadow year.
