School is coming quickly...ready?

 

She's your darling little girl...He's your handsome little man.  They grow up quick don't they?  Picking out your first backpack and new school shoes are just the start of a long journey in a life of learning.  Before you know it, you will be planning that open house and sifting through college information. For many reasons that first day of school is one that both parents and kids often dread...and we want to help.

 

The Great Start of Cheboygan, Otsego, and Presque Isle counties (COP) have collaborated with preschools and kindergarten teachers and classrooms to empower you the parent to be sure your little one is ready for that first big day!  We are proud to introduce a pair of resources for you as a parent!
