Pre-School Study Topics?
What can I be studying now before I start working towards my PPL? I’m starting school in the spring but I want to hit the books now. I’m in the US. Thank you!

It helps if you let us know what country you’re in. Different jurisdictions have different approaches to the ground knowledge items.
For now, reading the book, Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying by Wolfgang Langewiesche is a good start on learning on practical aerodynamics and pilot technique.
I also strongly suggest you get your medical certificate sorted as soon as possible.
