Tip #7: Check your child's book bag every evening.

Parents must check their child's book bag every evening because important notes, announcements, field trip, event, and graded papers are sent home in the book bag. In order to make sure your child is completing all homework assignments, you must check their book bag. Try to help them keep it organized and clean it out daily of papers no longer needed. Parents miss out on important dates because of not checking their child's book bag. If your school doesn't supply a take-home-folder, you may want to purchase a pocket folder for your child to put all important papers and announcements in the folder,so they can't get lost coming or going in the bag.
