\"DSC_0659\"<\/a>On Sunday night we welcomed some new au pairs to our cluster and rekindled some old friendships after the long summer months.\u00a0 We enjoyed a beautiful crisp evening outdoors as we ate pizza and discussed back to school safety tips.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.rd.com\/advice\/parenting\/back-to-school-safety-tips\/2\/.<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, just in time for back to school, Au Pair in America has put together a handy note for au pairs and host parents.\u00a0 With busy schedules and last minute changes, something simple like writing a note for the school can get lost in the mix. Or maybe your au pair has just arrived and she\u2019s not quite sure yet how to notify the school of any pick up\/drop off changes. That\u2019s why we put together this useful note! Print off a few, and you\u2019ll be set for the year. It\u2019s blank so all you need to do is fill in the appropriate information: date, child\u2019s name, teacher, grade and include a parent\u2019s signature.\u00a0 It can be used to grant permission, for absences, late arrivals or early dismissals, and has a comment section to include any other pertinent information. Print off the note here (it\u2019s a pdf file) and make your life a little easier!\u00a0 http:\/\/www.aupairinamerica.com\/fp\/school_note.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n
