📚 2. Make a Homework Station (That Actually Works)
🗃 3. Do a Quick Supplies Clean-Out
Before you buy anything new, go through last year’s supplies. Toss the broken crayons, test the markers, and recycle old papers. You might be surprised how much you already have — and how much space you’ll free up.
⏰ 4. Ease Into School Sleep Schedules
Summer sleep habits are hard to break, we get it. Try moving bedtime up by 15–30 minutes each night the week before school starts. Mornings will be way less painful (for everyone).
🍱 5. Prep Lunch Stuff Ahead of Time
🧘♀️ 6. Keep Afternoons Chill
🧺 7. Stay a Step Ahead with a Weekly Family Check-In
Every Sunday, take a few minutes to talk about the week ahead. What’s on the calendar? Who needs what? Are gym shoes clean? It sounds simple, but it keeps everyone on the same page and saves a lot of last-minute scrambling.
