Items Many Everyday Emergency Car Kits Need for Personal Needs
Small plastic or paper cups
Emergency long-storing packets of water (available at a survival or camping store)
Snacks that will not melt or be destroyed by heat or cold (camping or military food packets are a good idea)
Regular snacks and water bottles can also be used, if rotated (to stay fresh)
Gallon-sized seal-able plastic bags (for a million reasons)
Several quarters and dimes (for parking meters, phones, vending machines, etc.)
A small pack of tissues
A half-roll of toilet paper
An overnight kit (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair gel, disposable razor, soap, comb, shampoo, etc)
One pair each of spare socks and underclothing for each family member.
Flashlights and fresh batteries or a wind-up or shaking-powered flashlight
A good quality pocket knife
A nail file
A pack of baby wipes (for spills on clothing, in the car, sticky hands, etc)
Sanitizing gel

Water - both to drink and use in your radiator should your car overheat.
Jump Leads - if you have a flat battery and you're not too far away from home you could possibly ring a friend or a family member to come and give you a jump start. They should be at least 8 feet long.
Blanket - to keep warm if you break down in the cold.
Half a litre of oil - add some rubber or disposable gloves
Extra fuses
Torch or flashlight with extra batteries
A pillow - just in case you do have to wait a long time.

Pocket Knife
Having a pocket knife with multiple tools like a screwdriver, bottle opener, blade and pliers is always a good idea. You never know how you may need the assistance of one of these tools after going through a car accident or emergency situation. For example, a pocket knife should enable you to cut through any seatbelts that won’t release.

I'd sue the school district so fast all their heads would be spinning!!!
