These are a few of our Back to School DO'S and Don'ts.

Do - Sneak fun notes like "Have a good day" into lunch boxes as an extra surprise. 

Don't - Take a chance with meltdowns over misplaced belongings -- label everything from  clothing and shoes to school supplies.

Do - Get organized by visiting the school and meeting the teachers.

Don't - OD on glittery, sparkly school supplies

  • Do make sure that your kids have their stuff ready the night before.  Including clean laundry.

    Do say something positive to your kids so they can have a good day.

    Don't send your kids to school with those short shorts or very mini skirts or they will be coming back.

  • Don't  forget to make sure they go to the bathroom before leaving the house before school        Do take them in the shower before bed and make sure they are smelling and looking clean for the next day of school.   Don't  let them stay up pass there bed time because they need to be alert and awake for school the next day. Do have them lay out there clothes for the next morning for school.  Don't forget to have there lunch money for them in a envelope in there back pack. Do have them make there bag lunch the night before and remember to put it in there back pack the next morning before school. Don't forget to put all books and home work in back pack before going to bed. Do remember to put your house key in back pack and cel phone in case of emergency for the older children that go home to a empty house and wait till there parents come home from work.  Don't forget to have them brush there teeth and hair before school and put deoderant on for the older children.hugsDo remember to give your child a big hug and kiss and say you love them and proud of them every day
