Back To School Checklist: 5 Things You Can Do This Week
School begins Aug. 26 in Shaker Heights, but there's plenty of things that need to be done ahead of time.

1. Mark your personal calendar -- the first day of school is Monday, Aug. 26, 2013.Â
2. Many of the district's schools still have orientation days scheduled for new families. Find out when they are scheduled.
3. Make a doctor's appointment today to update your child's immunizations.Â
4. Get started shopping for back to school supplies before those great deals sell out. Check out the district's supply lists for what your student will need.
5. Consider joining and supporting the Shaker Schools Council of PTA's. It's a great way to get involved with your child's school. Learn more at the district website.
