Putting Together Your Child's Info for School

The following sites will make the process of putting together the information for distributing to your child's school and teacher painless. I did however note a few inaccuracies when reviewing the sites, but not enough to leave them off the list. Just be sure to keep the bad information off the info to be given to the school.

2. CSA's Letter to Teacher and a link to Substitute Teacher Information



3. How to create a Health Care Plan for Celiac Disease from Twin Cities Rock Group
