It is hard to believe but there are only a couple weeks of summer left. As kids prepare to go back to school, there is a lot to do. From shopping for school supplies or back-to-school outfits to planning ahead for events and vacations or understanding new school safety measures, a little preparation will help your child, and you, get through the back-to-school days ahead. Here are some important dates and resources to make your planning a little easier.
