💡 Tip: Life happens! Develop plans for making sure your child gets to school in different situations.

📋 Have a list of family members, neighbors, or friends that you can call on to bring your child to school if something comes up.

✅ If your child stays with other family members, make sure everyone is on the same page about going to school every day.

At the start of the year, make sure you know how your child's teacher and school communicate. Do they use:
📂 Home communication folders?
📱 An app like Class Dojo?
📄 Newsletter?

🔄 Create a system or regular routine for checking communication. This will ensure that no permission slips, upcoming tests, or classroom events fall through the cracks!
