Back to School Suggestions and Links

Hi,  this is RJ with my newest article.

It seems crazy to get ready to go back to school already.

For most schools it's almost time to go back, and it is helpful to remember what you learned last year, so ask your mom or dad to go to a book store and buy you a workbook and do some pages each day, if you can, until school starts.

Then you need school supplies. You can order them online, or buy it from a store like Walmart, Target, or an office supply store. Stores in your area may have the list of what you need for your school. You can also check your school website for needed items.

Here are some online resources from the Ohio Department of Education you may find helpful:
