[quote=Anonymous]- All flu vaccines for the entire family done by August. 2 weeks before school opens. It messes up your kid's academics
 to fall sick in the first quarter.=
- Zinc tabs, airborne tabs, occilococinum tabs, germex and face masks.  Kleenex with lotion. 
- All physicals finished before school (Birthdays are in August thankfully)
- All dental cleaning, eye exams, derm appointment finished
- Two of everything that my kid could lose and marked them very well - 2 lunch boxes, 2 sets of outerwear, 2 bookbags, 2 sneakers etc. 
- Asked for and got the syllabus from the district before school started. 
- Bought all the textbooks for all the subjects second hand in Amazon. Even if I did not know exactly which text books were being used. I went by the topics in the syllabus.
- Also bought second hand - all the summer reading list books. Used other schools websites to get multiple lists.  Made sure kid read many of these books. 
- Hired tutors and made sure that my kids were ahead by at least a quarter in some key subjects. 
- At least two weeks of vacation abroad. 
- Life skills - some chores and some cooking lessons.
