Starting School Meltdowns

My son, who is now 8, struggles with significant meltdowns every year as school starts. For the first week or so, he becomes very disruptive in the classroom, and it’s a challenging cycle for everyone involved. With the new school year approaching, I want to prepare ahead of time to minimise or shorten the meltdown period. Any tips and advice?
