Your summer road trip is a memory, pools are closing for the season and school supplies are on sale. It’s time to get the kids ready to go back to school.
Here are three resources from USA.gov to help make that transition a little easier:
- A Shot in the Arm – Many schools require immunizations are up-to-date before they can start school. Here are easy-to-read immunizations schedules that will help you determine what’s appropriate for your children’s age group. Consult this chart to find out what your state requires.
- I’ll Buy Lunch – There is financial help available to help parents manage back-to-school costs. One of these is the National School Lunch program that provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day.
- Tax Takes a Holiday – Some states have a sales tax holiday each year. This may save you on clothing, shoes and other supplies. Here a list of states that participate and when the holiday occurs.
