Every parent needs to know this mum’s genius back-to-school hack

Back-to-school season is upon us

It's hard to believe there are just a handful of days left in the summer, but the kids will be back in school next week.

Many parents are in the middle of preparing for the back-to-school season.

It's a stressful time for many but there is one hack that is bound to make it a little easier for you.

If, like us, you are always losing the 101 notes and permission slips the kids bring home then you'll love this hack.

We've all been in that position when a permission slip vanishes and you're left running around the house in search of it.

Thankfully, that'll be a thing of the past when you create a designated place for school forms.

Setting up a place where you put all permission slips, school reports, and newsletters will help keep everything in place.

They'll no longer be lost in your kid's schoolbag but gathered tidily in a folder in the kitchen.

You could also put a plastic envelope in your child's schoolbag that is specifically for official forms and notes from school.

One mum punched a hole in a folder and attached it to her child's backpack with a carabiner. This way it won't ever get lost or squashed in the bottom of their bag.

Do you swear by any back-to-school hacks?
