Straight Scoop on the School Year

Don't tell the kids, but it's back-to-school season. You'll help with homework, pack lunches, battle over hairstyles for the yearbook pictures and quiz your son on spelling before the big test – but you'll still wish you had more time to get involved with parent-teacher groups.

The good news is you don't have to be the PTO president to be involved. In fact, we've got a way for you to connect with your child's school and education that works with YOUR schedule.

Back2School2007 website will give you the straight scoop on topics like five school lunches kids love, what you should know about school and the internet, and seven things teachers wish you would tell them at the start of the school year. You can take quizzes, read the blog, and get inspired by stories of moms and dads around the country with their tales of PTO involvement and how they improved their children's schools.

The articles are concise informative, so even the busiest moms and dads can afford to take a look around! Check it out at www.back2school2007.com.
