5 Ways to Get Organized for Back-to-School

When it comes to preparation and getting organized, a little goes a long way. Take steps now to avoid the crunch and stress of back to school madness later.

Organize Your Backpack

Start with an empty backpack. The first step to organizing your backpack is completely emptying it out. If you’re using a brand new backpack for the upcoming school year, it’s already empty, but if you’re reusing one from last year there is a chance there are loose papers, pencils, or other items floating around inside your backpack.

Once your backpack is cleaned out you can start putting your school supplies into it. Start with the large items, making sure you have room for textbooks, binders, folders, notebooks. Take advantage of slots for pens, pencils, and even cellphones. Put smaller supplies into a pencil bag to keep them organized inside your backpack. Consider what other items you will want to keep in the backpack such as umbrellas, hand sanitizer, lip balm, or mittens. Some of these items may be seasonal, and some you will want with you each day. Finally, make sure to add the peel and stick name label to the inside of the backpack.

Organize Your Devices

Laptops aren’t just for college students anymore. Over the past year in particular, students of all ages depended on technology devices to get through the school day. Many campuses have BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) guidelines in place so students can bring computers, smart phone, tablets, or other technology devices with them to school. Frequently these devices look alike, so it’s important for students to label any and all technology components brought to school. Adding a custom name label to your devices helps keep you covered when it comes to these bigger-ticket items.

Organize Your School Supplies

In many classrooms there are some supplies that are shared and some that stay with each student. Students often need to keep up with pencil boxes, folders, and other school supplies that are assigned to them. Labeling your school supplies means your child will always know which items belong to them. They also help teachers return any misplaced items!

Organize Your School Clothing

Your student may not need a label inside of every article of clothing they own. But do they have a jacket they like to wear inside the cold classroom, but that also gets discarded as soon as they head outside? These are the articles of clothing most likely to end up in the lost-and-found. Save yourself some hassle and frustration by adding a peel and stick clothing label to the inside of the jacket or sweatshirt. Plus, no need to remove the sticker before you wash or dry. Clothing labels are durable, waterproof, and laundry safe.

Organize Your Lunch Box and Water Bottle

Opening your lunch box to realize you grabbed the wrong one is a surefire way to spoil anyone’s appetite. If you are packing more than one lunch each day, then personalized labels are a great way to keep everyone’s lunches organized and make sure everyone grabs the right lunch as they head out the door. Additionally, if your student has an allergy or a nutritional restriction, keeping their lunch labeled is a great way to make sure they are getting the right meal each day.

From elementary school friendly lunch boxes to high school students and their favorite Hydroflask, name labels are perfect for these hard wearing items. Press-and-stick waterproof labels are durable and dishwasher safe. They can even go through the microwave and get tossed into the freezer. Simply put, they are going to stick around.
