It’s never too late to start back to school organizing. Here are some tips and tricks for getting back on your feet for this back to school season.

Don’t Over Buy

• Shopping List: Create a list of essential items you’ll need for the school year.
• Inventory Check: Before you go shopping, take stock of what you already have. This will help you avoid buying duplicates.
• Stick to your list!

School Bags: Form Good Habits

• Pack the Night Before: Prepare your school bag the night before to avoid morning chaos.
• Essentials Only: Carry only what you need for the day to avoid a heavy bag.
• Weekly Cleanup: Make it a habit to clean out your bag at least once a week to get rid of unnecessary items

Snack Charts

Create a chart or list that includes various snack and lunch options. Place it on the fridge or another easily accessible area.

Why It Helps

A chart provides a quick reference for you or your kids to choose from when packing lunches and snacks. It also ensures variety and helps you remember to use up what you have before it expires.

Pro-Tip

When buying in bulk, take some time to portion snacks into individual servings using small containers or zip-lock bags. Pre-portioned snacks are easier to grab on the go. This also saves time in the morning when you’re packing lunches.
