The phrase “back to school” rolls off the tongue about as easily as “dentist appointment” or “tax day.” It signals that a change is coming. For most kids, back to school means that summer will soon be over, sleep- ing in will be reserved for weekends and a more rigid schedule is on the horizon. Days at the pool will be replaced by days in the classroom. Afternoons watch- ing movies will soon give way to hours of homework and preparing for tests. For parents, it’s a change that starts long before the first day of school. There are supplies to be purchased, school uniforms to be tried on, bus routes and car pools to be organized, forms to be filled out, activity fees to be paid and the list goes on and on. From my experience, the back to school season can be one of the toughest seasons for families to navigate. So how can we do more than just survive? How can we make this season go more smoothly? Here are some back to school tips for families that I’ve gathered over the years. Plan Ahead Before school starts, you will begin receiving mate- rial from your child’s school. Do your best to review it as soon as you can. Mark your calendars with important dates, meetings and deadlines. You don’t want to miss something because the information is still sitting in the pile of mail in the kitchen. You can avoid the Christmas-like shopping experience by shopping for school supplies early. Shopping early not only allows for more choices, which kids love, p h o t o s . c o m but allows time to look for the best value. Back to school is a great time to restart some spiritual routines that may have fallen by the wayside AUGUST 1, 2013 | SOUTHEASTOUTLOOK.ORG back to school B9
