3 Tips for Back-to-School Success!

It's that time of year again... summer is drawing to a close and soon it will be time to get back into the school-groove.  Savvy parents know that preparation is the name of the game for back-to-school success, so below are three of our favorite tips for shifting back into the school-year-gear:

1. Get your kids and yourself back into a normal sleep routine before school starts (especially for those students who have an early rising time); the transition will be much far less painful for all of you if you can ease into it over a week or so! 
2. Keep plenty of healthy and fun snack and lunch items on hand to pack for those little learners; its easier to learn when you're not distracted by a grumbling tummy!
3. Re-visit safety basics; whether your children ride the bus or walk to school, remind them of all transportation safety procedures and rules.
