@MilFamiliesMag A5: Also, if you have a high school student preparing for college, you have to think about test prep classes, SAT, ACT, and AP tests. All come with a cost! #Back2SchoolBudget

@Mil_FANet @MilFamiliesMag So true! And every school has different special events. When I taught in Baltimore, there were some special traditions I had never heard of before that required formal clothing, event tickets, etc. #back2schoolbudget

@MilFamiliesMag A5: 🙋🏼‍♀️ We have! Extracurriculars can end up costing hundreds of dollars. Not to mention field trips, homecoming and prom, etc. It’s never a bad idea to set aside more money thank you think. If you don’t spend it, you’ve got a little extra in your pocket. #Back2SchoolBudget

A5: I think my parents constantly felt like there were unexpected and long-term expenses popping up every time I came home with a Scholastic Book order form! 😂 #back2schoolbudget

A4: Having a printer at home--or readily available access to a printer-- is really important. Our school offers very affordable access to tech at home, but not printers. #back2schoolbudget

@MilFamiliesMag A4: Many schools are suggesting that students buy laptops and also the computer programs the school uses in order to get work done. Again, check out our MilCents program if you need help saving and budgeting for these high dollar items! https://t.co/9prEqxnNwM #Back2SchoolBudget
