Covered in glue, glitter orange juice - or worse? Make a quick change into the spare set of clothes you keep on hand for just this purpose. Butterflies in your stomach before your first-ever Meet the Teacher Night? Keep your cool by writing the evening's agenda on your board - It will double as a crib sheet for you.
