8 Great Back to School Tips for Parents on Pinterest:

1. Get price drop notifications by pinning product pins — Pinterest will alert you when the price drops so you can get the best deals for back to school.   
2. Create individual boards for each child to make it easy to organize different ideas and inspiration.
3. Install the Pinterest iPhone or Android app to grab ideas on the go.
4. Find a pin you want to share with another parent? Click “Send” after clicking on the pin, to share privately.
5. Get inspired by browsing through the Education and Kids categories.
6. Take a look at some great picks curated by Pinterest by checking out Pinterest’s back to school basics board.
7. Search for your child’s upcoming grade to get them ready for the school year (for example: kindergarten, second grade, sixth grade, eighth grade science projects). 
8. Come across a pin you like and want to see others like it? Scroll down below the pin to see other boards the pin is “also pinned to”, and “people who pinned this also pinned.”
