 Is your family ready for the new school year? Have you done your back to school shopping for clothes, supplies, backpacks and lunch boxes? Now is the time to start planning for the fall and registering for sports, after-school classes and child care. Consider spending your last couple weeks of summer easing back into a more structured schedule which may include earlier bedtimes and nightly reading. Take the time to help your child set up a special place in your home to do their homework. For those of you with children starting preschool or kindergarten, now is the time to get out the Kleenex and cameras. It is an exciting time for your child but can be much harder on the parents when they see their kids taking that first step towards independence.
- Go online to our RESOURCE DIRECTORY to view businesses and their contact info.
- Use our PARENT PLANNER to plan for activities. Check the box next to each business or event that you're interested in and then click parent planner and you can either print or email that list to yourself and/or others.
It is not too late to sign up for activities and sports. After-school programs are a great opportunity for kids to try something new. View the ads below & click to see their websites. Share your child's favorite summer camp on our Family Favorites to win a prize! We hope those of you with children in school have a great last few weeks of summer vacation and a smooth transition into the school routine.

Childcare Options...
Get Involved...
- Support your child's teacher: Stay informed by reading the newsletters and teacher's notes that come home each week. Use your school's parent handbook to find your school's programs, schedules, after-school care options, etc.
- Volunteer: Ask your child's teacher how you can help with volunteering either in the class or on a school committee or by helping with a fundraiser.
- Donate: This year more than ever with all the budget cuts, parents are going to need to show their support by sharing their time and making financial contributions whether their child is in preschool or high school.
- Join the PTA: Support your PTA by becoming a paying member (varies by school but generally an inexpensive amount per year). The PTA is the largest all volunteer organization with the sole purpose of advocating for the education, safety and health of ALL children. Every dues paying member has a voice at the local, state and national level when it comes to legislation that pertains to children. Attend PTA meetings so you can stay informed on what is going on in your school. The PTA hosts fundraisers throughout the year to support special programs, and activities. See how you can support these through donations and volunteering.
