Your Last-Minute Back-to-School List
Are you ready for the start of school in Bristol and Warren? Take a quick look through this list — and make sure!
If you're like most other Rhode Islanders, your summer has been taken up with trips to the beach, grilling at home, and week-long vacations to fun places.
And now — almost without knowing it — you're looking at the calendar and saying: "Is school in Bristol-Warren really starting on Aug. 28?"
That leaves you only a couple of days to make sure you've got everything in order for when the kids head back to classes.
Luckily for you, Bristol-Warren Patch has this list of links and information that'll save you time and money — and help you tell the great stories happening at your school.
Shopping:
If you haven't done your back-to-school shopping yet — and for some parents, there's good reason, as you never know what each teacher will want for their classroom — be sure to check out local stores like Ocean State Job Lot [which is also offering discounts on school supplies for teachers] to stock up on the basics.
Bus Routes:
Every year, the Bristol-Warren School Department publishes bus routes in local newspapers, but you don't have to go searching for a copy: find and download Bristol-Warren school bus routes here.
Humor:
It's a perennial big production — getting clothes and supplies, preparing for the morning rush — but the first day of school doesn't have to be all work.
Patch bloggers recently offered 5 funny blogs about the start of school that can bring a little levity to the otherwise hectic pace of getting ready.
