First Day of School: Bus Routes, Teacher Assignments

Make sure that you and your child are prepared for the first day of school.

Suddenly you hear the loud, swooshing breaks of the bus and the squeal of children as they load on, only to realize your child is not even finished with their breakfast. So, you spill your coffee, throw on your child's backpack and lug them toward the front door. The bus inevitably drives off and you are left in the midst of a horrible start to the school year.

Let's make it easier for everyone and avoid the first day of school panics by ensuring that you and your child are prepared. By now, you should have received a letter in the mail from your child's Foxborough school. This letter has important information, such as, teacher assignment and room number as well as the start and end time of school. If you have not received this information, please visit the Foxborough Public School website and contact your child's school.

If your child is a walker, it may be important to walk the route prior to the first day in order to time out how long it will take to walk the distance. If your child will ride the bus then check out the Foxborough bus routes here.

Setting out your child's first day of school outfit, shoes and backpack full of supplies, will lead to a smooth morning and easy transition from home to school. Also, be ready and waiting for the bus before it's estimated arrival time.

If you are frazzled and stressed by the new schedule that the school year entails, your child will mirror these emotions and become overwhelmed. So, it is important to remain calm and organized.
