Returning with another back-to-school preparation episode, I focus on the critical importance of keeping your emergency contact information updated with your child's school.
• Working in schools taught me how common it is for emergency contact numbers to be disconnected or outdated
• Parents often forget to update contact information during school transitions (elementary to middle, middle to high)
• In emergencies, schools sometimes must send police to homes only to find families have moved
• Choose emergency contacts who are reliable, have transportation, and can actually respond if called
• Provide teachers with preferred contact methods (calls for emergencies, texts for behavior issues, emails for documentation)
• Always keep school numbers unblocked on your phone
• Make sure to promptly return contact verification forms when sent home
• Discovered a personal wheat allergy after years of mistakenly believing I had dairy sensitivity
• After eliminating wheat, experienced rapid improvement in swelling, rashes, hives, and stomach issues
