Back to School: What Do You Need to Know?

While your summer vacation may be filled with trips, staycations and summer camps, the return to school is only weeks away.

Whether your children are heading to kindergarten, middle or high school, there are things you should be thinking about: registration; supplies; lunches; bus safety tips; routes to school; and immunization information, to name but a few.

If you're a parent who's already been through any or all of the above, then Patch wants to hear from you. What tips can you share with your fellow parents in Encino and Tarzana? Where's the best place to buy school supplies, or learn more about immunization? What do you know now that you wish someone had told you at the beginning of your child's school career?
