Back-to-school is a time when we moms see to it that our kids are well-prepared for the new school year. We are the ones who take care of the essential tasks and are expected to make ‘wais’ decisions—be it from choosing schools to shopping for supplies—to provide our children nothing but the best for their education.
While the next academic year is still a few months away, it pays to prepare early. This allows you to better allocate your budget, not miss out on any important need, and avoid the stress of the back-to-school rush. To help you get started, Home Credit, a leading consumer finance company, shares some ‘wais’ tips for your kids this coming school year.
Start considering the school
School is one of the most important things to consider before the back-to-school period begins, especially if your kids are transferring from their old ones. You can start by laying down your options so you have more time to assess their quality of education and environment to see if it will allow your children to grow and develop further to reach their potential.
Aside from that, this also provides you the opportunity to gather all the necessary documents for your kids’ enrollment and consider its location, accessibility, safety, and even the fees you are going to pay, if there are any.
Make a list of the needed school supplies, other essentials
Depending on their school and year level, you can create a list of essential items you need to buy for your kids’ schooling. From notebooks, textbooks, pens, or pencils, to bags, lunchboxes, and even laptops, such a list will ensure that you will not overlook anything important. Additionally, it will help you establish and manage your back-to-school budget, as a comprehensive list enables you to estimate the costs of every item.
Check the uniforms
Uniforms are the everyday dress code your kids will wear at school. Because of this, you must make sure they still properly fit your kids and are in good condition. Be sure to check for any damage to see if it needs to be repaired or replaced. If your kids are new to their school, have them measured for new uniforms so they will be ready when the academic year starts? For schools without any uniform requirement, do not forget to examine your kids’ wardrobes and purchase new clothing they can wear at school.
Establish a budget
Determining your budget will ensure you spend your money wisely for the back-to-school season. It will also help you allocate your funds properly and prioritize the things that matter the most. This ensures you meet all your children’s school needs without straining your finances before they begin their academic year.
