In this Riverbend Awareness Project back-to-school special, we sit down with Ms. Kidd, a veteran 5th grade teacher, to talk about preparing for a successful school year. She shares practical tips for both teachers and students to start strong, from setting clear expectations to creating safe classroom environments. We explore how meeting students at their level makes all the difference. With years of experience, Ms. Kidd offers thoughtful advice and valuable insight for anyone heading back to class.
