School Stays

Bring your first day's lunch, sleeping bag and spare clothes. You will also need a toiletry bag with basic personal hygiene items such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, a comb or hairbrush, and if you plan to shower, a small towel and shower soap. It is advisable to bring a small flashlight in case you need to use it during the night, as well as your pajamas and a photocopy of your health card.

Depending on the time of year, a cap to protect from the sun (in the spring), raincoat and wellies (in the fall or if rain is expected), warm clothing (in the fall and winter), sunscreen and mosquito repellent lotion (in the spring and summer), and lip balm should be added. For children with nocturnal enuresis, it is important to include a soaker to protect the mattress during the night.

A practical idea for the little ones is to bring a garbage bag with nansas to store the sleeping bag on the last day; this will avoid having to put it back into the original cover, which often costs a lot.
