Creating a file for each child, every school year, will help keep papers organized. If artwork is a problem, consider going digital. Here are more solutions for kid’s paperwork.
Pending Papers
Where do you put important papers that must be remembered? A prominently displayed (and organized) bulletin board is a good visual solution. Another option is to create an efficient working file system. If you want assurance that you will remember, set a reminder on your phone before an event with the file location of the important papers or tickets.
