Smile Back to School Checklist!

Back to School Checklist

Don't wait until the last minute to get prepared for back to school. Use this checklist to start school organized and confident. Start about 14 days before school starts.
Day 1 Start having everyone go to bed earlier (including you)
Day 2 Make hair, doctor, immunization appointments
Day 3 Go through kid's closets with them and get rid of clothes that are too small, take them directly to goodwill
Day 4 Make a list of supplies and clothes that you will need this year
Day 5 Shopping day with the kids
Day 6 Shopping day without the kids
Day 7 Goal Planning Day for self and kids, ask kids questions about their goals for the school year and write them down, plan your own 3 month goals
Day 8 Plan your morning routine and practice it
Day 9 Plan your evening routine and practice it
Day 10 List different lunch ideas and tape into a cabinet (I have some lunch ideas at Meal Planning )
Day 11 Make and post a daily schedule for the kids to follow and make your own daily schedule
Day 12 Decide on a paperwork system and schedule daily and weekly times to go through paperwork
Day 13 Figure out where your launch pad will be for the backpacks, boots etc. will be
Day 14 Rest, catch up, have some summer fun
Day 15 Send the kids off to school with a special breakfast
Day 16 Get your extracurricular activity bag ready
Day 17 See how your routines are doing and redo if necessary
Day 18 List kid's strengths and your own
Day 19 Do a fun activity as a family
Day 20 Start a 21 day self-improvement challenge

Great ideas. I always try to start getting my DDs up earlier about 2 weeks before school starts.
