Get Your Students Organized with Calendar Tools They’ll Love to Use
Get them organized. Help them stay organized. Here are three organization and scheduling tools that will make daily school scheduling more fun:
-
Dry Erase Boards.
Notes and reminders will keep a student on track.
Marker boards fit conveniently in any locker or dorm door and come with an erasable marker that sticks to the board with Velcro tabs. Each board is printed on metallic paper, which gives it a liquid-like finish and subtle reflection. Choose from a variety of designs and include one or more of your student’s favorite photos. 8″x18″ dry erase board — custom designed by your — is just $18. -
Wall Calendars.
Start your student’s calendar with the month of August — the time they need to really begin getting organized for school. Incorporate special dates, birthdays, reminders, personal messages and school events into each month of the school year.
Add one or more great photos to each month. Two calendar sizes are available — choose from 12- or 18-month calendar formats. $14.95 to $21.35. -
Daily Planners.
The ultimate student organizer he or she will take with them everywhere! Here’s another opportunity to make school organization fun — add great photos and lots of notes, reminders or silly comments throughout the year.
Two day planner sizes are available and choose from 13, 27 or 54 photos that can be included. Pricing for a student’s ultra-cool personal daily planner starts at $21.

Check out Lifephoto’s FAQs to ensure photo quality
Personally, I never read instructions. I simply jump in and start “doing.” Sometimes I need to go back and find out if I’m doing it correctly. That’s why I recommend you review the FAQs on the Lifephoto site before you upload your photos. Only takes a minute, but will help you get better quality photo reproduction for your photo gifts. You’ll find the FAQs and other good information about Lifephoto by clicking “ABOUT” at the bottom of any page.
.JPG and DPI Matter
- Be sure your photos are saved in the .jpg format before uploading.
- Use 300 DPI for images smaller than 12″x12″.
- 150 DPI for images larger than 12 × 12″ with an sRGB color profile.
- Try to upload your photos in the order in which you think you will use them– if including them in a photo book, journal, calendar or day planner. You can always rearrange them later, but it’s faster if they are already in the order you’d like.
A 12″x18″ photo poster makes a great gift, too!
Have a few terrific photos you’d like to have blown up and framed?
Maybe for your own wall. Maybe for gifts? It’s easy to do and relatively inexpensive.
Upload Your Pictures to Lifephoto.com
It will only take you a minute or two to upload your photo, select the poster size you want and order. Add a caption if you like as I did in this photo of a Great Blue Heron that I took last year in my backyard. Read my original post about creating this personalized-sized poster.
Add an inexpensive mat that brings out one of the subtle colors in your photo. Then an inexpensive frame and you’ve got a beautiful framed photo.
Start thinking about photos you’d like to see blown up and framed. Then upload them to lifephoto.com for high quality, value and personalized service.
Start your Lifephoto daily planner any month of the year. Base it on your life’s activities.
Think a calendar or day planner has to begin on January 1? Not at all. Often it makes more sense to structure it based on your lifestyle.
And don’t forget, you can include all the photos you love on your day planner pages.
Teachers, Students and Moms
Your lifestyle year most likely begins in August. Start your day planner on August 1 and be sure to include all the important dates you’ll need to remember throughout the year: holidays, teacher’s convention, field trips, spring break, last day of school!
Brides-to-Be, Mothers of the Bride
The biggest day of your life (or your daughter’s life) begins on the wedding day. Two suggestions:
- Start your day planner a full year before the wedding month. Get all the important dates, appointments and decision dates loaded into your pages.
- Start a day planner for the bride beginning with her wedding month.

Accordion Photo Cards.
An accordion card is probably the best choice for conveying warm family sentiments and displaying a number of fun reunion photos. Expandable 8-sides cards, accordion cards give you plenty of room to share your reunion story in photos and text. Come with matching envelopes. You can even include the date for next year’s reunion.
Everyone will treasure the memories of this year’s family reunion — just because you cared enough to capture the event on a special card for them.
