When it comes to school, costs are risingacross the board. Though tuition hikes getmost of the publicity, additional expensesassociated with school can add up as well,and school supplies are no exception.

Though it was once easy to send kids offto school with a pencil case, a couple ofnotebooks and a few other accessories, to-day’s students live in a digital world, andtheir teachers often rely on technology tosupplement lesson plans. As a result, thecost of school supplies is higher than everbefore, and parents are left looking forways to give kids the tools they need with-out breaking the bank. To do just that, con-sider the following tips.

* Sign up for coupons on retailer Websites. When consumers purchase a productonline, prior to finalizing the purchasemany online retailers ask consumers tocheck a box if they would like to receive e-mail newsletters and coupons. Parentswho sign up for such newsletters and

coupons can save substantial amounts ofmoney and might even be privy to specialsales not available to the general public. Insome cases, it’s not even necessary tomake a purchase to receive the newslettersand coupons. Shoppers simply visit theWeb site of their favorite online retailersand sign up to be notified of any deals orsales.

* Coordinate with teachers ahead oftime. Parents should consult their child’steacher before school begins and through-out the year to determine if there are anyspecial projects or reports coming up thatrequire certain supplies. For instance, kidsmight need costly graphing calculatorsnext semester. If parents are given advancenotice, they can shop around to get the bestdeal. Talk to local school officials to see ifit’s possible to make a list of school sup-plies available at the end of the year insteadof at the very beginning. If so, this givesparents several months to shop around for

the best deals.* Do your own homework. Parents of

college-bound kids might think an e-read-er would make the ideal gift, saving kidsthe trouble of lugging all those booksaround campus. However, parents shoulddo their homework before making anysuch purchases. That’s because not all text-books are available as e-books, and kidsmight end up having to buy hard copies oftheir textbooks anyway. Before kids headoff to college, examine their first semesterschedule and then look online for eachclass’ corresponding syllabus. If most oftheir required textbooks are available as e-books, then an e-reader might make a greatgift. If not, think of something else.

* Don’t make the bottom line the deter-mining factor. Whether a student is ingrade school, high school or college, his orher school supplies tend to undergo morethan their fair share of wear and tear. Soparents looking to save on school supplies

should consider that when shopping.Though the less expensive backpack mightseem more affordable, make sure it canwithstand the test of time and all the wearand tear that comes with being a student’sbackpack. If not, it will likely need to be re-placed before the school year is out, whichcan end up costing more money in the longrun.

* Recycle school supplies. School sup-plies can be recycled. At the end of each se-mester or school year, perform an invento-ry of existing school supplies. If last se-mester’s notebooks were hardly used,there’s no need to buy new ones for thenew semester. Similarly, parents who havea couple of students in their household canembrace hand-me-down school suppliesjust like they do with clothes. If one childfinishes the school year but didn’t quite useup all of their supplies, save those suppliesfor the day when their younger siblings endup in the same class.

Parents and students who want to im-prove grades and classroom performancemay want to look to extracurricular activi-ties. There is evidence that some after-school activities can actually help promotebetter results inside of the classroom —even helping to mediate symptoms of At-tention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Activities like sports, band, cheerlead-ing, martial arts, among other extracurric-ular events, can promote good feelingsabout school and offer lessons that carryover into the classroom environment,helping students become more successful.

A study by the U.S. Department of Edu-cation revealed that students who partici-pate in cocurricular activities are threetimes more likely to have a grade point av-erage of 3.0 or better than students who donot participate in cocurricular activities. Ina 2003 study published in Sociology of Ed-ucation, researchers found that there arepositive associations between extracurric-ular participation and academic achieve-

ment. Many adolescents who participate inextracurricular activities report highergrades, more positive attitudes towardschool and higher academic aspirations.

Extracurricular activities also may beable to correct behaviors associated withboisterous children or those who havebeen diagnosed with a clinical medicalcondition, such as ADHD. In a study titled,“The Effects of Mixed Martial Arts on Be-havior of Male Children with AttentionDeficit Hyperactivity Disorder,” re-searchers found that a martial arts programtwo times per week helped increase thepercentage of completed homework, fre-quency of following specific classroomrules, improved academic performanceand improved classroom preparation ofmale children ages 8 to 11 with ADHD.

There is also evidence that simple phys-ical activity can promote better opportuni-ties for learning. Studies largely conductedby the California Department of Educationhave found a correlation between physical

activity and increased performance. Phys-ically active youths tend to show improvedattributes such as increased brain functionand nourishment, higher energy/concen-tration levels, increased self-esteem, andbetter behavior, each of which can help astudent perform better in the classroom.

Beyond this, there are many ways thatextracurricular activities can support im-provements in the classroom.

√ Most activities promote physical stam-ina and patience.

√ Students develop self-esteem andgood relationships.

√ Students are able to apply theorieslearned in the classroom in a real-worldcontext.

√ A healthy measure of competition isdeveloped.

√ Students learn to value teamwork andachieve a goal through common values.

√ Children are able to exert energy in aconstructive way.

√ Extracurriculars promote good atten-

dance and participation in order to excel.√ Students learn self-motivation.√ Students can realize success that is not

measured by test scores.√ Many extracurricular activities have a

basis in rules that can keep students incheck.

√ Students participate in a social setting,learning through activities that they trulyenjoy.

Extracurricular activities can lead to im-proved test scores and better behavior inthe classroom. This makes the activities at-tractive to parents of students hoping tomold well-rounded children.

It’s important to note that, in some in-stances, too much of a good thing may bedetrimental. If a student is so busy with apacked schedule of extracurricular activi-ties, he or she may actually fall behind inschool work. Therefore, it’s vital to keep abalance so that students can successfullymanage what goes on inside of school andoutside of school.
