The other day on Facebook I asked when school starts in everyone’s area. We start in a few weeks (!!?). I was surprised to hear that most of Arizona is already back in session. It feels like time is running out already. In an effort to get on top of the back to school rush, I’ve gathered some of my favorite ideas into one spot. In between trips to the pool or beach, check each one of these off your list.

10 Back to School Tips & Prep Ideas from www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

Back to school shopping checklist from www.thirtyhandmadedays.com
1.  Back to School Shopping List
Does the shopping stress you out?  I put together an easy checklist to use as a guide for the new school year.  And might I suggest this is the perfect time to clear out kids worn/don’t fit any more clothes and shoes?  Make a few trips to the donation center a part of getting ready for the new school year to start fresh.

10.  Back to School Getting to Know You Teacher Printable
I created this printable a few years ago to give to my kids teachers.  They fill it out at the beginning of the school year so that we can get to know their teacher- what they like, prefer, etc.  I stick it in their school binders and refer to it throughout the year.
