thankfully i was told by a friend years ago how to be very organised with your kids school things , it really makes a difference , but this folder is even better than the way i was taught by my friend all those years ago
Hi Nikki-just wanted to let you know that we had conferences tonight for my daughter and I brought my Student binder with me (that I learned how to make from you)!! It was wonderful! Had everything I needed in one place all organized! Can't tell you enough how much I love your videos and all of the wonderful tips! Thank you so much for all you do!!
I am going to link your video on my teacher website so parents and guardians will have a great method for keeping up with their student's/students' important school info. This is an excellent resource you have created. Thank you.
I don't need to be entered in this video giveaway bc I do not have my own children. I am just praising your work and thanking you for helping so many ppl become more organized in their students' lives. BTW the attendance regularly has errors (in my school system) bc not only is it based on human input/errors, but the system will do bizarre things, like count everyone present for 4th period, etc. That's why teachers keep an old fashioned attendance book as a back up. Even then, mistakes can happen. Everyone's diligence helps.
So organized! I have enjoyed all the bags you have done this week, as well. I wanted to share something that was helpful when my son was in school. I prepared and printed out an excuse slip for absences/tardies. Please excuse _________'s absence due to _______. Here I listed possible reasons: illness, dr. appt. dentist appt, etc. Then I would just check off the appropriate reason. Hope this is helpful to someone.
That's a nice tip, but do schools still receive written excuse slip for absence any more? If my kids have to stay home, I only have to call in the safe-arrival line and leave a message with my kid's name, his/her homeroom teacher and the reason for absence. I can even communicate with their teachers through email for further elaboration if necessary
Great idea, especially since I have the memory of a pencil. Can't tell you how many times I have had to drive back to the school because I for got something that he needed and I forgot that was due that day. Craziness!
Good afternoon Nikki! I am a fairly new subscribers to your channel and yet I believe I've watched ALL of your videos lol!!! I absolutely love your organizational skills. Your channel is so very helpful to me as I'm sure with so many other Moms & Women in general. I wear so many hats in my family and you are helping to bring a fresh new perspective into our lives. My Husband & I have been traditional schooling Parents for over 20 years and now with our last little guy(age 10) we are embarking on a new venture... home schooling. And I tell you, you're really helping to decrease the nervousness I have by helping me get an new mindset of better organization. Thanks so much for helping those of us that until subscribing to your AMAZING channel, were kind of scattered brained lol! Have an AWESOME WEEKEND 😄
I just realized that I saw this video last year! I put a binder together and it helped so much. I thought that I just found your videos a month ago. I have been blessed by your talent for over a year now!! Thank you!
I SO appreciate this video!! We live in a tiny, 2 bedroom apartment and have zero room for a command center. This is absolutely perfect for us! Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness this is such a wonderful idea. I have watched several times to try to catch all I need to purchase to be able to recreate this. Love that it is true to Nikki's signature color!!
I have been following you since I retired. But now I am grandma help with school and grandkids. I think this binder organization is perfect for me in keeping up with several kids with different schedules. Perfect!
This is a great idea that would work so well in our home! The fridge has such limited space and command centers take up too much room. this is a perfect balance and it's customizable too! love it! Thanks for sharing it.
Love, love, love this idea. I have a 4th grade daughter who's in gymnastics & cheer, and a 6th grade son who's a football & basketball player. They keep me busy, so I need some kind of organization to keep up. I will be using this idea for my household. Thanks Nikki for this awesome idea! 😘
this is such an amazing idea! I have a happy planner that just seems to be over run with things for my whole family and this is such an amazing idea. Definitely making myself one. My son is in special education so we have not only parent teacher conferences but also IEP meetings and this would totally help keep track for that. THANK YOU!
I live in Spain and I love your channel!! I have two children called Ayrton and Iker, they're all my life, and since they go to school i'm concerned about keep all the information to get things right with my daily family/home organization and my work organization. Thank you for all your tips: my life changed since I meet you!!! Like we say here: Un saludo!!
This is such a great idea. My son is starting kindergarten this year in a virtual academy where I will be his learning coach w/support from his teacher. This type of parent binder will be great in organizing and maintaining a consistent and functional schedule for us both. Thank you for the idea!!
This is a great idea and would work wonderfully in our home. The fridge has such limited space and command centers take up too much room. this is a perfect balance and it's customizable too! love it! Thanks for sharing it.
This is a great binder for us parents with special needs children. We get so much paper work through out the year ( IEPs, teacher's everyday notes, etc..). I am going to set one up this weekend!!!
This seems like something that would work for me especially for my older children. It can be adapted to keep track of all the events/happenings/important dates etc. that occur during junior/senior year and college.
this is amazing! so much more organized than just sticking all the slips/papers on the fridge. I'm definitely doing this before my daughter goes back to school.
Wish I had seen this years ago. Great idea. You ability to think things through and anticipate need is amazing. Effective and concise solutions. I'm thankful for this channel.
I love this video I went and got a binder today and started because I want to be a prepared parent. I literally watch your videos and try to re-create them weekly.
This is a good idea..I have a 1st grader and a 1 year old and this idea would help me keep everything together for the school year. I always enjoy your videos!
Such a fun and yet systematic way of organizing things for the kiddos. My son is going to school this fall and it would be so helpful to have all his school related stuff in one place. Thank you for sharing this. Hugs
This is such a great idea! I was just telling my daughter after we got back from her orientation, that I needed a binder and folders to keep her school information things in!
This was awesome!! Glad to have discovered your channel. I have done something you could say is similar in the past couple years because my son has dyslexia and has an IEP but I learned some great tips and will stop cluttering my fridge!! Thanks so much for the great ideas.
Wow! I struggle with becoming and staying organised, this is an awesome idea! I have 3 children at school, learning instruments and swim; with me at school too. This is definitely on my (never ending) to-do list. Thank you, Nikki.
Thanks for this video, I just finished my son's school binder. I added additional categories as my son has special needs. It really inspired me to get this school year as organize as I can. You are amazing!
This is amazing! I have 5 kids, 4 in school and these tips are gonna help me soooo much!! i usually have so much trouble with organization between all my kids. This video is a lifesaver.!
Wow, I am impressed by this organisation. As a french Canadian teacher, I want to let you know how I would love to see all the parents of my students have a binder like this. Great suggestion.
What a great idea. I just found you a few days ago and let me say that right now you're my new Netflix. I have been binge watching. Your tips are so helpful! Thanks!!!
What a helpful video! I have one starting college, one in middle school and one in elementary school; this is going to be a lifesaver for our family. Thank you!
This is absolutely awesome! I definitely need this. My husband and I have 3 children and they all have their respective activities. This year we'll have a child in each school level, so it'll be interesting to say the least! Thanks for sharing!
Nikki I love this video it's very helpful because I'm a busy mom I work every day of the week 12 hours a day I get home around 8:00 PM I have two kids a girl in middle school and a little boy in elementary school and it's very hard because I only get one day off a week and it's probably usually Saturday or Sunday and what I do basically is just go shopping that day so they don't go out much and are always bored at home
Thanks Nikki for the idea of setting up a binder to keep things organized for kids. I have a small home and trying to find space for a command center is challenging. The binder is a great idea.
Love this idea! I will also make a school memory binder where I can keep, things I want to remember, like pictures, drawings, essays, outstanding schoolwork and events
Nikki, as always you have really outdone yourself. No matter what you do, it is always just gorgeous as well as functional. This is such a great idea to keep tabs on your kiddos
OMG I needed this when my son was younger but its good to know that I can still use this while he is in college. He graduates from high school in 2017 and keeping up with these application dates for college and testing is hard! This is really awesome! I have to share this video on my Facebook!
Great folder, just what I need for my daughter who is starting pre school in September. Don't really know what to expect from the parent side of schooling so this will be great to keep our family organised! x
I loved this video!!! I had never thought about doing something like this. Talk about being organized where it comes to the kids school things!!! Thank you!
I'm so happy I stumbled across this channel! New friend here! This is going to help so much with my first and only starting Kindergarten this year! Thank you!
I truly appreciate this video, and will be implementing your suggestions and tips this school year and onward. I really should have been doing this all along smh. As a single mom I have 3 children, and two of them have IEPs. I usually come to each IEP meeting with a mess of papers thrown into some sort of folder. With your system, I can be better organized, and can spend more time preparing and focusing on my children's needs. Thank you so very much.💜
Another great idea lady! I have 4 children so this is very helpful! I love planning..This makes everything so neat and organized. Thank you so much for all of your inspiration and ideas as you have been a big help. Hugs, Tmika
I still have the binder i made from your original video. Updating it now to include our new daughter. it is such a great idea and has saved me a lot of stress.
Hi Nikki, have two children, one preschool and one start in the 6th grade. over the years and I learned that first mothers must organize before the start of the school year and that guarantees a good family performance and integration with the school and the teacher. I loved this idea, I would like to earn it. kisses from Dominican Republic.
love this Nikki! I love the idea of not having a command center and using this binder instead. so much more efficient. love being a subscriber, you inspire me all the time.
This was So informative. I can't believe I never thought to do this! I am trying to get myself and our household organized so my mother told me about your channel and I must say I am hooked. thank you so much!
this is a very useful binder and would definitely help the busy parent keep track of everything involving school or otherwise. i could even use this for summer for activities that my children are involved in such as martial arts classes, sports and scout meetings. this would be an awesome tool thanks for the inspiration. keep up your awesome work. i look forward to more videos.
Love your ideas.Started watching your videos couple of months ago and I am so hooked,i watch atleast 1-2 videos everyday,sometimes they are already watched videos but learn something everytime.
I don't think many people think about the parents when referring to back to school and yet again well organized I love it keep um comeing :)
I agree! No one thinks about the fact that we have to be just as organized because we NEED to know EVERYTHING that's going on with our babies!
thankfully i was told by a friend years ago how to be very organised with your kids school things , it really makes a difference , but this folder is even better than the way i was taught by my friend all those years ago
I love that color and I also agree
where have you been all my life?!? Your tips are amazing. I am blessed that I found your channel.
Hi Nikki-just wanted to let you know that we had conferences tonight for my daughter and I brought my Student binder with me (that I learned how to make from you)!! It was wonderful!

This is an excellent organization system. I love how it can accommodate everything you need for your student(s) through college.
So organized! I have enjoyed all the bags you have done this week, as well. I wanted to share something that was helpful when my son was in school. I prepared and printed out an excuse slip for absences/tardies.
Please excuse _________'s absence due to _______. Here I listed possible reasons: illness, dr. appt. dentist appt, etc. Then I would just check off the appropriate reason.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
AWESOME TIP! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! Hugs and Love Nik
That's a nice tip, but do schools still receive written excuse slip for absence any more?

Great idea!
This is a wonderful idea👍.
VERY GOOD IDEA! THANKS!
Great idea, especially since I have the memory of a pencil. Can't tell you how many times I have had to drive back to the school because I for got something that he needed and I forgot that was due that day. Craziness!
memory of a pencil. Haha :D
I love the calendar idea where you hot down info about them throughout the year to catch trends. It's an great way to document!

This would really help me with my schedule
JUST AMAZING! HERE IN 2019
I SO appreciate this video!! We live in a tiny, 2 bedroom apartment and have zero room for a command center. This is absolutely perfect for us! Thank you so much!
Can u do a vid on label makers and how to use????
Sure Angela! Thanks for requesting!
Oh my goodness this is such a wonderful idea. I have watched several times to try to catch all I need to purchase to be able to recreate this. Love that it is true to Nikki's signature color!!
As a teacher, I just have to say, I'm grateful for parents like you! :)
OMG!! Such an awesome idea, that would make my life so much easier.
I have been following you since I retired. But now I am grandma help with school and grandkids. I think this binder organization is perfect for me in keeping up with several kids with different schedules. Perfect!

This is a great idea. It's never fun sorting through tons of school documents searching for that one piece of paper. Nikki does it again!!!
My mom is obsessed with your channel and now I'm hooked, everything is just so perfect
Very helpful and organized! Thanks
Love, love, love this idea. I have a 4th grade daughter who's in gymnastics & cheer, and a 6th grade son who's a football & basketball player. They keep me busy, so I need some kind of organization to keep up. I will be using this idea for my household. Thanks Nikki for this awesome idea! 😘
This is an excellent idea to keep parents on task with their child. I LOVE it!
this is such an amazing idea! I have a happy planner that just seems to be over run with things for my whole family and this is such an amazing idea. Definitely making myself one. My son is in special education so we have not only parent teacher conferences but also IEP meetings and this would totally help keep track for that. THANK YOU!
Such a simple yet wonderful tool to take the "crazy" out of finding all those loose school papers....and so pretty too!!
Definitely one of the best tips! Using one binder for all of the children. School "stuff" can definitely take over if its not organized.
I live in Spain and I love your channel!! I have two children called Ayrton and Iker, they're all my life, and since they go to school i'm concerned about keep all the information to get things right with my daily family/home organization and my work organization.

This is a great binder for us parents with special needs children. We get so much paper work through out the year ( IEPs, teacher's everyday notes, etc..). I am going to set one up this weekend!!!
great idea! Thank you. I love the call out that if you're on your game, the teacher is more likely to be on theirs. never thought about it that way!
This seems like something that would work for me especially for my older children. It can be adapted to keep track of all the events/happenings/important dates etc. that occur during junior/senior year and college.
I love this idea. No more scrambling to find things. Very organized and we'll put together.
this is amazing! so much more organized than just sticking all the slips/papers on the fridge. I'm definitely doing this before my daughter goes back to school.
Brenda Bradshaw Boyce. It is indeed a pleasure to be subscribed to the AtHomeWith Nikki channel. I wish you God's Blessings in every thing you do.
Great idea... I love how I can have everything together and not having to forget it.
I love your color coordination and organization skills. Great videos to motivate others to get organized.

Thanks for the update! Compact and functional

Great ideas for keeping organized during the school year! I like the zip pocket to keep field trip receipts and yearbook receipts in.
