As schools across southeastern Wisconsin open for the school year today, it's important to be prepared, whether you're a parent or student.
TODAY'S TMJ4's Lauren Winfrey got a behind the scenes look at what it takes to get ready for the first day of school.
Lauren was able to sit in with the Coufal family in Wales, Wis. as they woke up, made lunches, ate breakfast and began their journey to the school doors.
The Coufals' three children look to have a great school year and it all starts today.
