5 Tips for Preparing for Back to School

Back to school season is here. Many kids have already started school, some of us are still getting ready. There is still time to prepare for back to school. I try to keep my sanity around this time of year, which means keeping things as simple as possible. SchoolSpecialty.com makes it super easy to get everything that you need without stepping foot into a store. We hope that you love these 5 Tips for Preparing for Back to School.

1. Create a command center

As a parent, it is so important to be as organized as possible, which is why a command center is such a great idea. A command center can help you stay systematized throughout the school year. I like to keep all the kids’ different schedules at our command center. Need help getting your command center ready? Use these tools!

2. Show the teacher a little support

Something we have done every year is show the teacher a little love. Don’t wait until Teacher Appreciation Day to show the teacher some love. We like to bring a little something for the teacher, during the school’s open house. Check out these great ideas and tools to help support your child’s teacher.

3. Go beyond the essentials for your student

Did you know there are things as parents we can do to prep our kids for back to school? Sure, the clothing and back to school supplies are great, but why not go above and beyond? There are some unique tools out there that you can provide your students, so they are just that much more prepared. Here are some unique tools for helping keep your student on track.

4. Don’t forget the down time

You know, it is so easy to get crazy busy that you forget to take some down time. Every day, after school, my kids and I spend some time doing things we love. Reading, listening to music, and eating a favorite snack of ours. Down time is important to help you get the rest you need to keep going.

5. Take advantage of educational tools and supplies available

Go beyond the basics and use SchoolSpecialty.com to help you prep for back to school. Back to school is happening for parents, teachers, and students, so make sure everyone is prepping to the best of their ability.
