Tip #5: Make a Copy

I know this sounds totally tedious, but when you teach in three schools, you do three times the paperwork. Anything that one school asks you to fill out, make a copy of it and put it in a file folder somewhere marked "Paperwork." Trust me, when another school puts one of those same forms in your mailbox, you can just go to that folder and find what you need. In my district, we fill out the same contact info sheet every year. So now, when they put it in my mailbox next year, I'll already have a copy ready for them and I don't have to go searching around for my doctor's phone number and address.
