Sherwood & Surrounding Area Real Estate with The Gardner Team

There's no doubt about it, the smell of school is in the air. 

As summer turns to autumn, the falling leaves and cooler weather come as welcome reminders that a new school year is right around the corner. To help ease the transition as your students head out the door, here are some tips from your friendly local real estate team "The Gardner Team" to ensure that they're ready (even if they're not exactly willing):

• Be sure students have received all required immunizations and physicals-particularly if they participate in extracurricular sports-and that registration forms are completed.
• Encourage school-year sleeping patterns a few weeks before school starts to help with the transition to early bedtimes and wake up calls.
• Make a list of contact information in case your student needs to get in touch with you at any point throughout the day. Include work, home, and/or cell phone numbers.
• Pick the right backpack! School books are heavy and can lead to back pain or injury without using the proper transport. www.Ebags.com and www.Jansport.com both offer a wide variety of comfortable ergonomic packs that will help ease your student's load. 
• Create a transportation plan for the trip to and from school, and make sure your student knows where to go, and how to get there, after school.
• Stock up on school supplies. Some schools distribute supply lists before the year begins, or you can find specific lists by grade level on www.Staples.com.
• Tuck an extra dollar or two in your child's backpack for an emergency (like forgetting their lunch money).
• And last, but not least, don't forget the apple!

By the way, if you know of someone thinking about buying or selling a home that would appreciate the same level of service we provide to our clients and community, please forward their name and telephone number to us.  We're never too busy to follow up with them and we appreciate your time, your trust and your referrals.

Have a great rest of the summer and best wishes for a happy fall, and a successful school year!

Sincerely,

Jason and Amber Gardner
