Faster Homework? Homework Basket / Box
Have your kids create a homework basket or box filled with all the supplies they will need. This will help avoid distractions along the way while trying to locate the items. The supply basket/box will keep kids focused on getting homework done rather than looking for something they need. This will help homework time go by faster.

Student Weight Maximum # of Textbooks
75 lbs 3 books
100 lbs 4 books
125 lbs 5 books
150 lbs 6 books
