A Free Printable Back to School Checklist to help you get organised for all the back to school tasks.
Preparing for the back to school period can become overwhelming with so much to do… buying uniforms, shoes, book packs, cover books, label book supplies… there are so many things to do and quite a few minor yet important tasks that can be easily forgotten. I can help ease your frustrations of back to school mayhem with my essential Back to School Checklist FREE for you to download.
It’s now the time of year to start getting all the kid’s school supplies ready. Typically schools hand out the book lists to families before the end of the year, you should have received yours by now either by email or a hard copy. Refer to your list to ensure you purchase all the school supplies.
My Back to School Checklist is for all the items and tasks beyond the book supplies such as buying lunchboxes, items needed for school bag, uniform, and the things to do to ensure you are ready for the first day of school.
To help you out with your Back to School Essentials, we have made Organised HQ a one stop shop to help you get organised and prepared the new school year. We have lunchboxes, drink bottles, lunch bags, checklists, school lunch ebooks, routine charts for the kids, all to help you get ahead with your organising and so much more.
I have used my back to school checklist since my kids started prep, it has helped to ensure that I have organised and prepared everything needed. Follow the links below for more of my tips:

Getting up early as we have all been taking advantage of the school holidays and sleeping in and staying up late ?
Oh it’s great for the holidays isn’t it but can be a challenge to get back into routine after holidays
