To ask how you stay organised... school!

[Emcont]

My youngest is about to start school, so I'll have one in reception and one in year 1. I'm absolutely shocking at organising. Each year I buy calendars and diaries but never seem to stick to using them!

I get around 20 emails a week from the school for my eldest child's year, so now expecting that to double.

I'm just wondering how you keep organised with more than one child at school in different years? I'm talking trips, events, assemblies ect.

Also a look into your routine would be amazing!

Thank you!

Some great suggestions on here. Have a look if your school has an app - School jotter and School spider are two I have come accross. Really useful.

I use the notes section on my phone. Might sound batshit but I have a day to day plan so I remember to do things, usually plan a week or so in advance. I’d forget pretty much everything otherwise. I have three in primary school and there’s always so much to remember, especially around Christmas time.

@iheartgin I don't think 20-25 emails a week it particularly typical tbf. DS starts reception Sept too but has been in early years for about 15 months at the same school. We have an app that gives them stickers for attendance etc, a weekly newsletter and then just permission letters for trips etc
