Tips For Getting To School On Time

Getting my four melons out the door isn't always an easy task, so I came up with a schedule that seems to work well for us. It helps get us to school on time, each and every day.

The Night Before:

-Make the lunch(es) (I do this after dinner. If I don't have room for their lunchbox in my fridge, I put the non-perishable foods into their lunchbox and put only the sandwich into the fridge)

-Backpacks, Packed and Ready To Go (homework, permission slips, binder, etc.)

-Outfit and Shoes Laid Out

-Bath or Shower (except for my oldest that is 11, he takes his shower in the morning)


The Morning Of:

-Wake Them Up (no later than 45 minutes before we have to leave)

-Potty Time (I make sure they go right away, that way they don't have to go right as we're leaving)

-Get Dressed

-Eat Breakfast

-Brush Teeth

-5 to 10 Minutes Before Leaving, Put Lunch Into Backpack

I hope this helps you get your melon to school on time!
