You have sooo much paperwork just from the school for your child and the piles of paper have a way of growing, don't they?

Then you also have a bulging email box with emails from the school.

...just think of it, spend some time this summer using OneNote, a free app and get that paperwork organized. I can already hear your sigh of relief when you're done!

You'll even be the first one on your block to have all those IEPs, PWNs, BIPs, FBAs, 504s, etc., etc., etc. finally organized! Yahoo!
