Prepared?

So you have dropped a pot of money at staples and the used bookstores. Here's a question "Are they bringing those things to class?" Are they showing up in the classroom? Are they bringing things home for homework? You must trust your kids BUT don't be afraid to check up on them. A quick note to the teacher is appreciated. They will not have time to contact each parent weekly, but they usually will reply to a brief email in a day or two.

This is a little thing that can make a big difference.

Cheers
