We hope the new school year is off to a great start! Whether you dread the days of packed lunches, homework, and after-school activities or are actually psyched to return to a structured schedule, the fall takes a bit more advanced planning than our laid-back summertime fun. Today, we'll share a few new tips to make the back to school transition smoother for students and parents.

Start the Semester Successfully
The first day of school may have come and gone, but kids, parents, and teachers can still create the roadmap for a successful year. The first step for parents might be learning the best way to talk to your children about their school day. From there, you'll be able to set learning goals for the year together based on what teachers want to see in the classroom.

Hate Homework? We Can Help
Back to school also means it's back to... homework! With these tips from our Guides you can put an end to homework hassles and finally make study habits stick this school year.

Conquer the Daily Grind

(Don't worry, we can help organize that jam-packed schedule.) Find balance and start each day off on the right foot by establishing efficient morning routines and fueling up with brain-boosting breakfasts to make sure the whole family is at the top of their game―in the classroom and on the playing field.
