Create a weekly magnet calendar. These work great because schedules are constantly changing and your child will have a few tasks that they will need to know about. Such as, school field trips, holidays, project due dates, etc. Create your own Magnet Calendar here.
Create an inbox to file paperwork. If you have any school aged children you will know how much paperwork they bring home every day, every week. As a parent you are responsible for keeping track of these forms and either holding onto them or returning them back to school. If your child has additional services through the school such as an IEP or ESE you need to be prepared to keep track of EVERYTHING that they send home. Its extremely important that you keep all of these forms. Inbox File System here.
