Simple Filing 2 comments

By Debra Guthrie, Patriot Mom

I thought this might be a good time to republish this blog entry from the last school year as we are setting up our filing systems at home. This is the filing system that I have found to be the best that we have used so far. To file my childrens school papers, I use this box with hanging files in them. It is compact, can be carried easily, and can be stored easily.

The hanging folders have tabs for: Assignment sheets, Bible, English, History, Latin, Math, Science, Art, Golf, and Providence Etc.

I also keep their "Free Homework Pass" paperclipped to the front of the first file for safe keeping.

I have used binders in the past to file my childrens papers, but I like that filing them in hanging files cuts out the step of punching, thus making it "simpler," which works best for me.

Our routine is that on Tuesday when my students bring home their blue folder, we immediately staple the blue assignment sheets together to keep in the left side of the blue folder. We then go through the returned, graded papers, and I have my child file them in the appropriate folder. That way all that is left in the blue folder is the work that needs to be completed.

At the end of each quarter, we sort through each subject and keep the papers that are meaningful, and discard the rest. That way, we start the new quarter with a clean file.

I know there are multiple ways that are successful to organize papers, but this is what works the best for us. Please "comment" if you have additional filing tips to share.

Providence Classical Christian Academy is pleased to announce our inspiring guest speaker for Parent Kickoff Night, Dr. John Turner. An evening with Dr. Turner will be one that will bless you and your family goals. It is an incredible privilege to host Dr. Turner and his wife, Roxie Turner. We have spent many years with Dr. Turner at NAUMS conferences and meetings. His experience and wisdom will be a great encouragement. Parent Kickoff Night is a time to catch the vision for our 2011-2012 school year, prepare for a fresh start, sign up for Grammar School electives, and allow Christ to renew our minds, as we focus on Him and all that is eternal.

Waterproof Water Bottle Labels 3 comments


Submitted by Megan Morgan, Patriot mom

Here's a back to school tip you might like. To make sure your items stay labelled, purchase the $12 for 300 package of Weatherproof Labels from Office Depot. These should be printed on a laser printer so the ink will not smear. You can include a cute graphic and your child and/or family's name for easy identification. I clean the surface off with alcohol and let it dry before applying the labels so they will adhere well. I try to hand wash as much as possible to make them stay on longer. They are great for lunch boxes and the outsides of textbooks and you can easily remove them with no residue when you are ready to resell your books.

Return Address Labels

Print up a page of 100 with your child's name in a small font to wrap around their crayons, scissors, pencils and other school supplies to help your child keep track of their things. Make sure to wrap the labels with the ends overlapping as they will try to pop off otherwise. This is why the font should be small to keep the name from being covered up. Your child's teacher will love you when there are 24 crayons x 15+ children floating around the room.
