For example, my daughter is starting her very first season of soccer next week. * As I do in my planner, I add sticky notes to the printable for important things details. Or you can pin many weeks to the side of the fridge or in your command center / mudroom. * You can print many copies, 3-hole punch and create a binder planner for you or your children. This has been helpful at back-to-school nights and volunteer meetings. * I’ve snapped a photo of the calendar with my cell phone to view it quickly while out and about. * I’ve sometimes made a photo copy to keep in the back of my planner. * I am posting it on the side of my fridge for the kids to see. That way I’m not booking someone on a day a child isn’t in school or making a full day appointment when they have a minimum school day. To make client scheduling easier, I did add the kids school schedule to the very top of my weekly calendar spreads. Not shown here is MY schedule, which is in my planner. It also helps me see when and where I may need a sitter / driver / friend to help me out. ![]() With everything going on, this printable totally simplifies it. My youngest didn’t have anything…lucky her, she zig-zagged all over town with me in the car. My oldest, while not in school until next week, had tutoring most days. They were released at 12 on Monday, 2 on Wednesday and 3 the rest of the week. My middle guy headed back to school this week.

My 6th and 1st graders are on the same schedule they go to school from 7:50 – 2:50 and have early release on Monday – my 4th grader goes to school from 8:30 to 3 and has early release on Wednesday. Their school schedule is enough to make me lose my mind.
