leslieedwards+FollowA Mom’s Guide to School Registration That Won’t Make You CryI still remember the day we moved across town and I realized I had exactly ONE WEEK to get my son registered for his new school. Cue the panic! After a frantic morning hunting down immunization records and birth certificates (why are they never where you think they are?!), we made it through—and you will too! School registration doesn’t have to be the headache many parents fear. Here’s what you need to know: 1️⃣ First, find your school district by calling your city’s Student Assignment Office or using online zone locator tools. 2️⃣ Visit the central registration office OR use their online portal (total game-changer for busy parents). 3️⃣ The document checklist is simple: proof of residence (utility bill, mortgage statement), proof of age (birth certificate or passport), current immunization records, and any previous school transcripts. 4️⃣ Don’t forget emergency contact forms and to ask about special programs your child might need. After submitting everything, your little one should be good to go within 5 business days! #BackToSchool #ParentingTips #SchoolRegistration #NewSchoolNerves #MomLife #EducationMatters #SchoolPrep80Share

Nicole Snyder+FollowCutting Girls’ Education? Make It Make SenseThe UK’s slashing aid for girls’ education abroad, and honestly, it’s wild. Not only does educating girls save lives and boost economies, but it’s also one of the best bang-for-buck investments out there. Every year of school means higher earnings, fewer child deaths, and stronger communities. Yet, the government’s decided to make health a priority—ignoring that education literally makes health spending more effective. Feels like we’re forgetting the basics: education changes everything, especially for girls. #GirlsEducation #AidCuts #GlobalDevelopment #InvestInGirls #EducationMatters #Education44Share
Jorge Figueroa+FollowStorms Are Messing With Kids’ SchoolingDid you know tropical storms aren’t just wrecking buildings—they’re also messing with kids’ chances to start school on time? A new study looked at over 5 million people in 13 countries and found that preschoolers hit by cyclones were less likely to start primary school, especially in places that weren’t prepared. It’s wild how climate change is impacting way more than just the weather. Makes you wonder what else we’re missing! #ClimateChange #EducationMatters #TropicalStorms #SchoolAccess #ScienceNews #Education45Share
