Don’t buy any supplies without a list.
Buy buy clothes after school starts but buy crayons, glues stick and such on sale now
Break up your shopping into a few trips.
i say dont make it a big deal and your kids will just fall into place like nothing….
Stay calm and carry on. Make the process fun and create traditions that will leave lasting memories!
Best back to school advice…buy extra tissues for home for the first day of school…particularly for moms with little ones going for the first time!!
Bring a list of supplies needed to the store with you!
Start practicing getting up early a week or two before the first day of school … so it won’t be as difficult on the first day.
This year is my son’s first year of school, so I don’t have any… yet!
start practicing the morning routine early so you can work out it all out before school starts
My best advice is to shop early to take advantage of the best deals
My best advice is to shop year long for back to school supplies! Get the best sales!
Wake up a week early to make sure you have everything prepared. Also shop early don’t wait til last minute.
Start shopping early, and bring lists.
Eek. I probably need the advice. get organized and establish a routine!
My best back to school advise is to start preparing them about a month before hand. Earlier bedtimes, back into a routine etc. That way it is not such a shock to their systems when the big day does finally roll around!
My best tip is to start the kids back onto a sleep schedule for school several weeks before school actually starts just so they are prepared.
To label their items so they don’t get taken
Label shoes and coats also–they seem to get lost
My best advice is to start the school schedule two weeks before going to school so the kids are not sleep deprived.
My best back to school advice is to take inventory of your kids clothes BEFORE you go shopping for new ones 🙂
My advice is to label all the kids’ items so they can be found if they’re lost!

My advice is start getting on the school schedule 2 weeks before school starts so you have time to get used to it before the first day of school.
My advise is to get the list from school so you don’t over buy.
start the morning routine a week or two before school starts so you are all used to getting up in the morning and getting ready for your day by a certain time
My advice is to purchase a few items at a time so you don’t have to do it all last minute.
kellywcu8888ATgmailDOTcom
bring a few things the first day, and then see what is required by the teachers and get it during the first week if you don’t have it.
Always shop sales and use coupons!!
Make a list of needed things and try to stick to it.

I would buy a few new clothes before school starts, but wait until school has gotten underway to find out what you kids new “must-haves” are. I would also look for those back to school sales and stock up on crayons, glue, kleenex, paper, etc when you see it on sale or clearance! Also, shop online for some even better deals!
Early to bed and Early to rise happy!

Start shopping early, and bring lists.
My best back to school advice is spend the week before getting ready, set out a weeks worth of clothes on hanger and pick out breakfasts for the week.

Stay as organized as you can, plan ahead, check lunch schedule to know when to pack/buy lunch, get prepared the night before. Start a BTS schedule the week before school starts- ie bed times, waking up early
get as much ready the night before as you can. That way the mornings go smoother.

shop early and lay things out the night before

don’t over-think it!
about a week or 2 before school start start getting back on a schedule early to bed and early to rise this way it want be so hard to get back on schedule for school
Mark their name on each crayon and marker so when it falls on the ground it goes back to your child if found later.
Make my daughter sleep earlier 1 week before school start so she’ll wake up earlier. 🙂
stay organized from the start! lists, routines, calendars, etc.!
My best advice is to get the kids back in their routine a few weeks before school starts and don’t stress!
Have the kids get their backpacks ready the night before so they aren’t running around in the morning looking for things
I suggest creating a homework supplies box. Put things like pencils, pens, markers,erasers, tape, calculator, loose-leaf paper, scissors, etc. in it. That saves time spent looking every night.
Shop sales through the year.
eg kaufman
My advice is give your child confidence, the supplies needed, plenty of sleep and take advantage of available help.
My best back to school advice is that as a parent, YOU should also be excited about the school year. Parents need to get involved, get in those school doors every time you have the opportunity. Participate & interact. If you are involved, your kids will want to be involved.
I think going back to regular school schedule at least two weeks before school starts will be helpful.
Make sure to go to bed early so you can get plenty of rest. Best thing you can do.
Make sure your child is prepared going to bed early making sure their backpacks are ready to go are some important ones
My best advice is to stock up on back to school supplies and clothes at the begining of the summer-so you are not running around at the last minute!
Stay positive and encourage your kids to do their best.
Don’t worry about having everything right away. They don’t need coats, gloves, or sweaters yet.
start getting back into bedtime routines a couple of weeks before
I always put them right on the school bus don’t take them it really helps just setting the pattern. (you can meet them at the school if need be)
Be prepared by starting to go to bed earlier than you do in the summer!
My best advice is to get your kid into a schedule a week or 2 before the start of school!

get lots of sleep the week before and start with a bedtime routine of laying out clothes and shoes the night before
The thing that helped me the most when my boys were in school was make lunches the night before and put out clothese to wear the night before.. Saved a lot of time and rushing around. My granddaughters do make lunches at times and do pick out what they are going to wear most of the time..
Try getting the kids up at school time a week prior to when school starts
My advice is to get all your back to school shopping done 2 weeks before school starts because there are usually last minute things that pop up. You will then have those 2 weeks to deal with those last minute things.

I like to buy supplies while they are on sale. I also start a few days before school starts to try to get the sleeping schedule back to an earlier time. thanks
Get everything ready the night before and leave yourself plenty of time in the morning for any shenanigans v your kids might pull.
Buy school supplies and clothes when they are on sale. A couple of weeks before school starts make them go to bed and get up like they are already in school.
Participate in a summer reading program it makes going back to school a little easier to get back in the swing of things!

Don’t stress about the back to school shopping… Before unknown it they’ll be back in routine and all those new clothes will get mixed in with the old.
Start your school routine a few weeks before it begins.
Start getting ready the weeks before! Get clothes and bags organized, and most importantly, get back on a regular sleeping schedule again.
if you have a little one going to school for the first time, let them meet their teacher and walk in the classroom a couple of days before school starts to feel comfortable

I don’t have any advice. My little one starts next year but I am reading the comments for next year! 😉
Get a good night’s sleep.
Get a good routine in place and stick to it!
buy extras for next years list when you find a great sale!!!
Shop ONLINE! No crowds and get exactly what you ned.
Go prepared and enjoy it! I mean, if your child doesn’t like school when they are young, they probably never will later. Let them see how fun it can be.
Michelle Tucker
Have fun! Try to learn something in every class you take!!!!
Get the kids to go to bed early a week or two early, that way they get adjusted for waking up early.
Get used to getting up early. That was always a challenge for me even in the middle of the school year (:
My best advice is don’t cry. lol That’s the first thing that comes to my head but its probably because my baby girl isn’t quite at school age yet so that’s what I think of when I think of school. Guess I need to be the one reading up on all of the advice everyone is posting! lol
Don’t let them see you cry. Also, be sure you have everything laid out the night before. It makes things easier in the chaos of the morning.
My best back to school advice is shop for supplies early because most of the cuter and cheaper styles sell out fast.
Set an earlier bedtime a few weeks before school starts to get kids used to it.
get them back into the sleep pattern for school and not summer at least 1 week before they start back. It will ease the adjustment.
prepare in advance, lay out clothes and lunches the night before, have everything packed and ready~
best advice is be prepared,,get the list get everything on it and extras
Get into a routine early, at least a week before school starts.
Buy enough school supplies to get you through the year so that you’re not buying them later when they’re not on sale
