School Supplies: Get a Binder for Your Record
Does organizing your child's educational record seem like a daunting task? You can get a jump on the process if you begin now.
When you purchase your school supplies, get a three-ring binder for yourself to organize your child's file.
As school begins, you will start to receive reports from teachers, notes from administrators, samples of work, results of evaluations, evidence of problems or concerns, and other school related documents.
Tip: Date each item lightly in pencil in the bottom right corner. Save them in chronological order. You'll be glad you started as soon as school began.
