When something happens for the first time....

Hello,

What tense would a native speaker use in a situation like this when something happens for the first time?
"My daughter goes to school tomorrow.( For the first time).

Will you just say 'will go', or 'is going'?

And in this situation below will you use 'goes' too or 'is going?'

After being sick for a few days my son goes/will go to school tomorrow.

I think using 'goes' won't be a mistake as this is a part of a regular series of happenings. Am I right?

Thanks
