BACK TO SCHOOL
Get kids in the habit of rising from bed and starting the day. Try to schedule something to do each day that will be the inspiration for getting moving, such as school supply shopping.
Be prepared. Gather supplies, practice the driving route, lay out clothes, make lunch the night before, get a good nights rest, and set the alarm clock.
Knowing all of the controllable factors are handled can ease the mind of parents and students.

When it comes to school, costs are rising across the board. Though tuition hikes get most of the publicity, additional expenses associated with school can add up as well, and school supplies are no exception. Though it was once easy to send kids off to school with a pencil case, a couple of notebooks and a few other accessories, todays students live in a digital world, and their teachers often rely on technology to supplement lesson plans. As a result, the cost of school supplies is higher than ever before, and parents are left looking for ways to give kids the tools they need without breaking the bank. To do just that, consider the following tips. Sign up for coupons on retailer Web sites. When consumers purchase a product online, prior to finalizing the purchase many online retailers ask consumers to check a box if they would like to receive email newsletters and coupons. Parents who sign up for such newsletters and coupons can save substantial amounts of money and might even be privy to special sales not available to the general public. In some cases, its not even necessary to make a purchase to receive the newsletters and coupons. Shoppers simply visit the Web site of their favorite online retailers and sign up to be notified of any deals or sales. Coordinate with teachers ahead of time. Parents should consult their childs teacher before school begins and throughout the year to determine if there are any
Todays students, both young and old, need a host of supplies to succeed in the classroom. Parents can consult teachers ahead of time in an effort to save money on costly supplies.
If last semesters notebooks were hardly used, theres no need to buy new ones for the new semester.
high school or college, his or her school supplies tend to undergo more than their fair share of wear and tear. So parents looking to save on school supplies should consider that when shopping. Though the less expensive backpack might seem more affordable, make sure it can withstand the test of time and all the wear and tear that comes with being a students backpack. If not, it will likely need to be replaced before the school year is out, which can end up costing more money in the long run. special projects or reports coming up that require certain supplies. For instance, kids might need costly graphing calculators next semester. If parents are given advance notice, they can shop around to get the best deal. Talk to local school officials to see if its possible to make a list of school supplies available at the end of the year instead of at the very beginning. If so, this gives parents several months to shop around for the best deals. books around campus. However, parents should do their homework before making any such purchases. Thats because not all textbooks are available as e-books, and kids might end up having to buy hard copies of their textbooks anyway. Before kids head off to college, examine their first semester schedule and then look online for each class corresponding syllabus. If most of their required textbooks are available as ebooks, then an e-reader might make a great gift. If not, think of something else. Recycle school supplies. School supplies can be recycled. At the end of each semester or school year, perform an inventory of existing school supplies. If last semesters notebooks were hardly used, theres no need to buy new ones for the new semester. Similarly, parents who have a couple of students in their household can embrace hand-me-down school supplies just like they do with clothes. If one child finishes the school year but didnt quite use up all of their supplies, save those supplies for the day when their younger siblings end up in the same class.
Do your own homework. Parents of college-bound kids might Dont make the bottom line the deterthink an e-reader would make the ideal gift, mining factor. saving kids the trouble of lugging all those Whether a student is in grade school,

safe after school as they are during it. When looking for an extracurricular activity, inquire about the staffto-child ratio and about the staffs professional background. Any staffto-child ratio that is greater than 12:1 likely indicates a program that is understaffed, which could mean kids wont get the attention they need. Also, ask for the staffs references and work history in the field of child care. If certification is necessary or recommended, make sure the staff meets all requirements. Parents should also inquire about program costs. Though many programs are upfront about fees, some have hidden fees that can add up. Such fees can be for uniforms, equipment, class trips, etc. Extra fees dont have to exclude a program from consideration, but its better to know about them in advance than have them come as a surprise. Consider a Childs Grade Level A childs age and grade level
should also be considered when choosing an extracurricular activity. Consult teachers about finding an age-appropriate extracurricular activity. For example, less competitive activities that emphasize fun might be more appropriate for kids in kindergarten and the first grade. For second graders, activities not offered at school, like learning to play an instrument, can help cultivate a childs interest in a noncompetitive environment. As kids reach third grade and beyond, consider more rules-based activities, including team sports, as kids at that age are more capable of understanding rules and handling losing than younger kids. As children get older and move on to middle school, look for activities that reinforce learning and help develop a young persons character, including their ability to interact with others. When looking for an extracurricular activity for kids, parents should consider a host of factors, including the childs interests and age.
Team sports, including baseball, can be a great extracurricular activity once kids are old enough to understand rules and cope with losing.

BACK TO SCHOOL
There are many advantages to going digital. Typing tends to go faster for adept keyboard users, which many youngsters have become since theyve essentially grown up with computers in the household. This makes note-taking easier. When notes and assignments are saved to a computer, theres less likelihood of them getting lost, especially if important files are routinely backed up. Data saved on a computer can easily be manipulated into a number of different formats, potentially making it easier to study. Bodies of text can be transformed into charts or pie graphs with many word processing programs. Students can cut and paste important quotes or examples into essays and the like, saving time on homework. In terms of streamlining backpacks, digital readers and other devices eliminate heavy books and notebooks. This can be seen as a big plus to students who have grown accustomed to carrying around 20+ pounds on their backs from a very young age. As many teachers turn to online resources, such as e-mailing and posting assignments on a personal Web site, students almost have to keep up with the times with some sort of tool that has Internet access.
Digital Advantages
On the other side of the equation, going digital does have some disadvantages. The decline of penmanship is one of them. In a digital era, people are less likely to write letters by hand or keep up with penmanship in other ways. Some children dont know what cursive handwriting is and may never learn how to sign their names in script, which was a common lesson for other generations. While digital communication does promote social interactions on some levels, there are some who argue that spending too much time staring at a screen and keyboard compromises the social aspect of going to school and learning in a classroom. Todays youth are less likely to talk, choosing to LOL and TTYL through texting. Having a wealth of information available on the Internet opens up students to many disreputable sources of content. Some common online encyclopedias are written and edited by regular people who may not have the accurate details of events. Also, having content that is easily cut and pasted opens up the temptation for plagiarism and blurs the lines of how to attribute information to a source correctly. Digital devices may be great learning tools, but they also offer a number of distractions to students. When a student is supposed to be taking notes on a laptop in the classroom, he or she might be downloading music, updating social networking sites, streaming video, or checking celebrity gossip. Classrooms are evolving and so are students. Learning is very different from the way older generations may have learned. Whether the presence of digital technology helps or hinders remains open for debate.

A students success in school is measured by the assignments completed and tests he takes. The students who garner the best grades and do well in class are often those who are effective listeners and note-takers.
Professor Dennis Jertz of Seton Hall University has said that taking lecture notes effectively is one of the skills students must learn to make the transition from high school to college careers. Note-taking is also necessary in the business world, making it a worthwhile skill to learn.

When attempting to find the right volunteering opportunity for their child, parents should consider their kids favorite hobbies and then find a volunteering opportunity that enables them to combine that passion with their desire to help others.
resume, and some students have even earned scholarship money thanks to their record of service. Parents who want to help their child find the right volunteer opportunity should consider the childs hobbies and interests.
Oftentimes, a childs favorite hobby matches up perfectly with a volunteer opportunity. When such a match is made, teenagers tend to look forward to their volunteer work and might even find a career path theyd like to follow.
The Athlete Students who love sports are likely to discover a host of volunteer opportunities at their disposal. The Special Olympics (www.specialolympics.org) is a rewarding volunteer opportunity for adults and children alike. Relying heavily on volunteers, the Special Olympics needs volunteers to fill positions that include athlete escort, scorekeeper, cheerleader, and even fans. Events occur 365 days a year, ensuring there is a local opportunity for every teen regardless of how hectic his or her schedule might be.
The Traveler Teenagers who love to travel can combine that passion with their desire to help the less fortunate. Many programs are designed for families who want to go on service-oriented vacations. For example, when signing up for such a program, a volunteer might visit a less fortunate country and help build and renovate existing structures. Global Citizens Network (www.globalcitizens.org) is one of many such programs, and families will work side-by-side with fellow volunteers as well members of the local community theyre helping. Younger volunteers often find service-oriented vacations especially eye-opening, providing a different perspective of the world they might otherwise never be able to witness or understand.
The Builder Some teenagers are naturally inclined to building, and they might even be off to engineering school once they earn their high school diplomas. Before applying to the school of their choice, teenagers with a more mechanical inclination might find a volunteering opportunity such as Habitat for Humanity (www.habitat.org) is the perfect fit. No previous building experience is required, and volunteers both young and old often find their time erecting homes for the less fortunate among the most rewarding moments of their lives.
The Teacher Teenagers who enjoy teaching others might find a local coaching opportunity suits them best. Coaching doesnt have to be limited to sports, though grade-school aged children often look up to the local high school athletes and genuinely appreciate when such athletes take the time to work with them personally. Additional teaching-based volunteer opportunities include the local music program for the musically inclined teen or reading to younger kids through the local librarys reading program.

BACK TO SCHOOL
tests are available on a handful of Web sites, and tutors hired to help kids improve scores often bring practice tests with them. Such practice tests are often very similar to the actual tests and will help kids be more comfortable with the tests when it comes time to take the real ones. When taking practice tests, time them just as you would the actual tests. This, too, can improve a students comfort level and will decrease the likelihood that a student will feel like he or she is racing against the clock when the time comes to take the real test. Learn the test. Learning the test involves figuring how a score is determined. Some standardized tests place greater
emphasis on certain questions and tabulate scores based on this weighting system. Learn that weighting system if it exists, and in the months leading up to the test help students concentrate on those sections
that weigh more heavily than others. Another thing to learn is if the test weighs wrong answers more than skipped questions. On such tests, a student might actually be better off leaving a question blank
than guessing and risking a wrong answer. Many tutors specialize in a particular test and might be able to help students learn about the test theyre taking and, in so doing, improve their scores.

Cyberbullying
occurs when a child is embarrassed, harassed, humiliated, threatened, or tormented by another child using the Internet, mobile phones or another interactive and digital technology.
Just as genuine a concern as bullying, cyberbullying has resulted in children killing others or even committing suicide. Cyberbullying occurs when minors are on both sides of bullying or if the bullying was at least instigated by a minor against another minor. Some of the more common means in which a child is victimized by cyberbullying include repeated e-mails or instant messages, posting real or doctored images online, sharing intimate information against a childs will and encouraging other children to share in the bullying. Breaking into online accounts, such as e-mail or social networking accounts, is also considered cyberbullying. Though some instances of cyberbullying rise to a level where criminal charges are filed, this is rare.
Limit time spent online. The Internet can be a valuable resource, but spending too much time online can be just as detrimental as spending too much time on the couch watching television. Limit the amount of time kids are allowed to spend online. The longer kids are on the computer, the more likely they are to drift toward Web sites where their safety can be compromised. If kids only get a set amount of time to surf the Internet, theyre more likely to visit only those sites they need to and not ones that can put them in harms way. Keep the computer in the
family room. Keeping the family computer in the family room, where Mom and Dad can monitor kids online usage without peering over their shoulders, is another way to safeguard kids from the Internet. If kids have their own computers, be it a desktop or laptop, in their bedrooms, then parents might never truly know what their kids are doing online. High schoolers might be able to handle having a computer in their bedrooms, but younger children should be restricted to using the family computer in an area where their Internet habits can be easily monitored.

Kennebec Journal | Morning Sentinel | Special Supplement | Tutoring companies and franchises where tutoring may take place in a learning facility. Selecting a tutor When interviewing prospective tutors, parents and students should be sure the tutor is qualified. Experts suggest finding a tutor who has five or more years of experience. If the tutor will be offering lessons in a particular subject, certification or a degree in that area is very helpful but not always necessary as long as the tutor is effective. Students often meet with a tutor one to three times a week per session. The tutoring arrangement can stretch on for several months. With this in mind, the tutor-student relationship should be a good one. The child should feel comfortable with the tutor. Tutors should know the material but also be able to explain it in laymans terms to the student. A good tutor will outline a plan on how he or she will help improve performance but also how the tutor will check up and be sure the student maintains improvement. Find a tutor who will be open to interaction with the students primary teacher. This way lessons can be geared
around schoolwork and coincide with whats already being learned. Parents will need to be hands-on and take an interest in what the tutor and the teacher have to say. Observing the tutor in action can help determine whether the fit is right or a new tutor needs to be brought in. Parents can wait for five to eight sessions to pass before determining if the tutor is clicking with the child. Select a tutor who agrees to periodic progress reports. It is not too ambitious for parents to expect marked academic performance after a month or more of tutoring. Cost is always a factor when selecting a tutor. A higher hourly rate isnt always indicative of a better tutor. Depending on the subject matter and certification of the tutors, costs can range from $20 an hour to $50 or more. Shop around for a tutor and remember to emphasize the tutors relationship with the student more than what the tutor charges per hour. Tutoring is often a helpful way for students who are falling behind in the classroom to redeem themselves. Hiring a tutor should be done at the first signs of learning difficulty, not when it seems things are too late to institute change.

with the principal to learn more about the ideals of the school and its goals. Its also necessary to look at the proximity of the school to the house. Some towns have rules in place regarding busing or walking to school. Students who live within a certain distance from the school may have to find their own transportation to and from school. This is something to mull over. Families that are interested in a host of extracurricular activities can also evaluate the town or school district based on the sports or other opportunities offered to students. Be advised that the school closest to a home might not be the one a student will attend. Zoning laws, and not necessarily proximity, often dictate where a student will attend school. Therefore, it is important to check with the real estate agent or town to ensure the research being done is for the correct school. Some parents prefer their children go to private school, and many towns and cities have a number of options. In addition to the public schools, agents should be able to point buyers toward the private schools in the area. Some may be able to list tuition costs and acceptance requirements. Having a picture of the school district in the area buyers are considering will help offer a better idea of the neighborhood and the people around whom theyll be living. School districts are important to consider when buying a home, so much so that buyers are willing to pay a little more if it means having a good school in their area.
Not all schools are created equal, and some rank better in test scores and teacher-to-student ratios than others. These are essential factors to think about when looking at homes. Although real estate agents can offer some basic information about what schools are in the area, legally they may not be able to share opinions on how good the schools are or be able to break down the demographics of student populations. It is typically up to the buyer to do his or her own research.
