Many of the parents I work with are frustrated with the number of papers their kids bring home from school that they need to keep handy for reference. Calendars, lunch menus, upcoming projects and events... so much to keep track of. Tacking those papers to a bulletin board or your refrigerator will keep those items front and center, but it can also lead to visual clutter that can be just as bothersome as missing papers.
Consider using a clear acrylic wall pocket like this one to corral those school papers, and from here on out, both you and the kids will know where to put and where to find important school information.
This particular wall pocket that I purchased at Office Max comes with two large magnets and is ready to hang on your refrigerator. You can also mount it on the wall with screws.
Add folders to collect papers from other activities, such as athletic teams and after-school groups. Here, Aiden has a folder dedicated to his soccer team schedule and papers and another for Boy Scouts. A bold photo on the front makes the pocket more fun for the kids... and for you.
Pair your pocket with a family calendar, and you and the kids are sure to stay on top of all their important events.
