School Family

We’ve been having a lot of fun putting together Back2School2007.com—as much fun, I hope, as you’ve had exploring the site and using the content. We just added one more section with nine downloadable tools
that you can use in the coming weeks and throughout the year.

For parents, there’s a printable version of our comprehensive Back-to-School Checklist, a list of suggested questions for teacher conferences, and a multipurpose school note with check boxes for some common situations.
Your children might find the homework checklist and weekly schedule planner useful for keeping track of what’s going on. We’ve also included some tags and labels to mark their stuff, from backpacks to books to bag lunches, plus an incentive chart to get those kids reading. (It can even be used to track other kinds of activities…say, doing chores.)

All of the tools are in PDF format, so you can print them from any computer or even save the files for later.
And stay tuned for more new stuff throughout the site; I’ll be chiming in occasionally to tell you about it. In the meantime, if there’s anything you want to see that isn’t already here, post a comment below to let us know.

Enjoy these last few weeks of summer!
