With school supply sales and department store flyers all over town, it's clear that the school season is upon us. While many experienced changes in routine last year due to the coronavirus, the reinstated regulations on social distancing may still make this year slightly different. 3 Options Realty can help you and your family prepare for this transition if you live in a rental apartment. Leverage our professional property managers' extensive experience and knowledge to ensure your transition is stress-free for you and the local community. Here are some tips as you look forward to this year's back-to-school season.

Anticipate Your New Routines

It is vital to maintain a particular routine if you want to find success, especially during these uncertain times when children need reassurance and structure. If you are a student starting school in person, the first step is transitioning from your summertime routine at least one month before the start of the school year. For young children, start transitioning bedtime routine to ensure they aren't ill-adapted or groggy when they wake up early.

Last year many apartments experienced internet connectivity issues due to strain on the internet connection. This problem can be solved by implementing a personal program to ensure the child is not relying on connectivity during peak hours. If you reside in an area still implementing social distancing regulations, this is the ideal time to examine a suitable online learning schedule. If you have a lot on your plate, a property management team can help you address connectivity issues before school officially starts.

Get Organized

Whether your child is homeschooling or will be in a classroom, it's crucial to create an environment that encourages productive learning. Whether it is online learning or homework assignments, ensuring there's a space set aside for school work to alleviate potential distractions. Although most apartments lack sufficient space for various functions, a property management professional can help you get organized without compromising the comfort of your home.

Get Your Menu Ready

If you already juggle a busy schedule, the school year only adds to the pressure if you are ill-prepared. Busy weekdays interfere with food preparation, but thinking about the menu early allows you to avoid inconveniences like haste lunch preparations for school. While there are many property managers, consulting a professional can help find balance for a successful transition from summer.

You can list easy weeknight recipes your family likes to ensure they have something to eat when you are too tired to cook. You can make it fun by exchanging recipes with your neighbors to avoid dinner ruts common for many families during the school year.
