What's changing: [e.g. starting secondary, new school, new bus]

Then:
1. A checklist: uniform, shoes, bags, stationery, forms, lunch, clubs.
2. A shopping list, with "check the school's list" where needed.
3. A plan to move bedtimes back over the last week.
4. A first-week morning and evening routine.
5. Questions to ask the school if anything's unclear.
