School Drop-Off Support Kit

Make a shared school-arrival plan, prepare for mornings that change and ask for a useful update after goodbye. This kit gives parents, caregivers and grandparents of autistic children practical tools to complete with school, keeping the child’s communication and preferences central.

Why Regulated Einsteins Created This

We created this kit to turn school-arrival concerns into a shared plan. Clear roles and a backup plan give family and school specific steps to discuss, while keeping your child's communication and preferences central.

Start here: Open page 3 and agree with school who will greet your child and respond when they need help.

Six pages to use as needed

• A quick start that helps you choose the page you need.
• Two fictional worked examples showing different arrival needs.
• A shared arrival plan with clear roles and responses to requests for help.
• A ready-to-use message for school and a brief update sheet.
• A backup plan for changes to staff, timing or your child’s needs.
• An optional arrival preview using familiar words, printed pictures or drawings.

Your download: A ZIP containing a six-page printable PDF, the same six pages in a fillable PDF with 21 text fields, Start Here instructions and a plain-text copy.

Start with the shared arrival plan on page 3. Complete only what is useful. Print on US Letter paper, or type into the fillable edition using a PDF reader that supports forms. Picture spaces are for printed photos or drawings, not digital photo uploads.

For personal or household use. You may share completed pages privately with your child’s support team. Do not resell or publicly redistribute the blank kit.

Digital download only; no physical item. This is an educational planning resource, not individualized professional guidance, designed to adapt with your child’s school and support team.

You can use the kit on its own. For a simple starting point, see When school drop-off is hard — Free One-Page Guide.

Save a private copy of the fillable PDF, then close and reopen it to check that your answers saved. Print at Actual size or 100%. For help, contact support@regulatedeinsteins.com.
