BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Organization Wanted: Your Back-to-School Organizing Tips

Hi everyone,

We're well into September, which means that school has begun for most kids. I'm working on an article with organization tips for the school year, and I need your input!

What organizing tips, habits, supplies, or practices do you use to keep your kids and your family organized for school?

You can post your replies here or e-mail them to me at organization@bellaonline.com. I'll include as many replies as I can in my article, and want to be sure to give credit where it's due, so please include your name and location in your posts or messages.

Thanks, and here's to an organized school year!

Best,
Emily

When our kids were younger we had them lay their clothes out for the next day before they went to bed and made sure their book bag and anything else they needed for school the next day was at the front door.

kids need to have a place at home, that is quiet and organized, where they can do their homework. Combine this with a semi regular organizing of their backpack, and you have a recipe for an organized kid
