Your Child, Ages 7-11

Dear Parents,

Getting involved in your child's school is a great way to make sure your little one is staying on track. We've got fundraising ideas from other parents and tips from teachers to help you become an active participant in the classroom.

Having new classmates means your child may be exposed to swine flu or other germs this school season. Find tips to help care for your sick child, guidelines if you're unsure whether he should go to school, and more advice to help keep your child healthy.

Also in this issue, our weekend planner has everything you need for a weekend of family-time fun.
