john05+FollowParking Ticket? Donate Supplies Instead!Las Vegas drivers can dodge parking fines by donating school supplies instead of cash—how cool is that? If you got a ticket between May 19 and June 30, just bring in new, packaged supplies (like pencils, books, or even cleaning wipes) worth as much as your ticket, with a receipt. Drop them off or ship them to the city office, and your fine is gone! Supplies go straight to local classrooms. Win-win, but hurry—this ends June 30! #LasVegas #ParkingHack #BackToSchool #Transportation40Share

Benjamin Contreras+FollowWhy Kids Suddenly Dread School at 11Ever wondered when kids start hating school? A new study just dropped and it’s wild: the big drop happens right when they hit Year 7 (that’s age 11, moving to secondary school). Enjoyment, trust, and even feeling safe all nosedive—especially for kids from lower-income families. Girls start feeling less safe than boys, too. Makes you think about how rough that transition really is, and how much more support schools need to give! #SchoolLife #Education #MentalHealth #StudentWellbeing #BackToSchool1414Share
TwilightTide+FollowNervous About Introducing Myself? Here’s How I Nail It!Ugh, introducing myself in class used to make me SWEAT 😅🙈 But I’ve finally figured out how to do it without totally freaking out—and I’m sharing my secrets! • I stand up (even if my knees are shaking!)—it makes me look way more confident • I always SMILE, even if I’m nervous—people are way friendlier when you do ❤️ • I say my name twice: “Hey, I’m Jamie. Jamie Lee.” It actually helps people remember! • I share my pronouns so everyone knows how to address me • I mention why I’m in the class (even if it’s just for a requirement—no shame!) • I toss in a fun fact, like my love for dogs or my obsession with hiking If I’m online, I add a pic and keep my intro short and sweet. And if I’m teaching, I make sure to share a bit about my background and what I love! Trust me, it gets easier every time. YOU GOT THIS!! #BackToSchool #ConfidenceBoost #ClassroomTips #Education20Share
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
Chris Lyons+FollowWhy I’m Doubling Down on MMR ShotsSeeing a jump in measles cases lately? Same here—and it’s got me checking my vaccine records. Doctors are warning that with MMR rates slipping, kids and immune-compromised folks are at real risk. Measles is crazy contagious, and experts say herd immunity only works if most of us get the shot. So, time to trust the pros and make those appointments! 💉 VaccinesWork #MMRVaccine #Measles #PublicHealth #BackToSchool #StayProtected #Health41Share
FrostyFantasy+Follow27 and Stuck: Is Going Back to School Worth It? 😰Hey everyone, I'm feeling pretty lost right now and could really use some advice. I'm 27, been bouncing between dead-end jobs for years, and I don't have a college degree. 😔 Watching my friends climb the corporate ladder while I'm still making barely above minimum wage is crushing my soul. Every job interview ends the same way - "We really like you, but we need someone with a degree." It's like I hit this invisible ceiling everywhere I go. I've been seriously considering going back to school, but the thought of being nearly 30 when I graduate terrifies me. Will I be too old? Can I even afford it? 💸 The student loans alone make me want to crawl under a rock. Has anyone here started over at 27 or later? Did going back to school actually pay off, or am I just setting myself up for more debt and disappointment? I'm desperate for some real talk here. 🙏 #careerchange #backtoschool #adultstudent #JobCareer #Career21Share
LunaSorceress+FollowBack-to-School Book Bag Shopping Adventure at TargetEvery summer, my kids and I look forward to our annual book bag shopping trip at Target. This year, my youngest was determined to find a backpack with dinosaurs, while my oldest wanted something with extra pockets for all her art supplies. We spent nearly an hour exploring the aisles, testing zippers, and debating between colors and patterns. There’s something so special about watching their faces light up when they find the perfect bag—it feels like the official start of a new school year. I love making these little traditions, and Target always has just what we need. Do you have any back-to-school shopping rituals with your family?
