This customizable social story helps elementary-aged children (first grade and up) understand what to expect on their first day of school. It walks them through the day step by step—from getting ready in the morning and meeting their teacher, to learning who’s in their class and where their belongings go when they arrive at school. The story introduces what to expect throughout the school day, including where they will eat lunch, when they’ll have snack and recess, and how the class will begin to follow a daily groove with time to learn and play.

Designed to ease first-day jitters and support smoother transitions, the story uses clear, encouraging language to help children feel confident and prepared. It reassures kids that it’s normal to feel nervous and shows them how school can be a fun, safe place to learn, grow, and make new friends.

To make this story as meaningful as possible, we recommend reaching out to your child’s school or teacher to gather the suggested photos needed for customization.
