Can you believe summer is coming to a close? No more flip flops, snowballs, and trips to the pool. Time to dust off the backpacks, buy those school supplies, and set the alarm clocks. It’s a real bummer, but we’re all in this together. To help you get that school train rolling, we’ve put together a handy checklist to help get you all set.
Back to School Checklist: 1
Are your kids properly registered? Be sure to check, especially if they’re changing schools.
2 Start filling out paperwork, if it’s available online. 3 Check orientation and first day of school dates. (May as well go ahead and
mark your calendar with holidays and teacher work days, too.)
4 Print out your school’s online supply lists, and go shopping! 5 Review specific dress code rules, especially if there are uniforms involved. 6 Organize that closet and see if any of last year’s school clothes and shoes
still fit.
7 Double-check school hours, and secure your before/after care arrange-
ments.
8 Look up bus stop locations and pick-up times. 9 Make sure your kids meet school requirements on immunizations. (See if
they’re due for their annual check-up and six-month dental cleanings, while you’re at it.)
10 Locate and clean up, or buy new lunch kits and backpacks. 11 Get all your personalization and monogramming done, if you’re in to such
stuff.
12 Start adjusting those sleeping schedules, if you and your kiddos have ad-
opted a late to bed, late to rise schedule.
13 Finish up any required summer reading.
14 If you have high school kids, start marking down dates for ACT and SAT
exams, test prep classes, college fairs, and application deadlines.
