Organizing Your Kids for Back to Schoo

With the end of summer drawing near it may seem that your declutter problems will soon be over. After all, no children in the house during the daytime seems to be the best fix for everyday clutter right? Wrong! When school begins you will have even more clutter each day than you have during the summer. Kids bringing in homework and other school papers, getting school clothing purchased and put away - all these things can add clutter and disorganization to your home.
Don’t give up hope though. There are ways that you can keep your home and your schedule organized during the school year, even during that first week or so when everything normally seems to come undone.
First, you should strive to get your house in complete order before school begins. Set your goal for the Sunday night before school starts, even if your school starts on a Friday. Have everything in order, all new school clothing put away and backpacks filled with the needed materials.
Next, keep in mind that school clothes shopping is a grand experience for children and can get very expensive. This is particularly true if you are one of those parents who simply must buy everything that you see for your little tot. be sure to keep a list of what your child really needs for school and try not to overdo the shopping. Take out old clothing and have a yard sale or better yet, donate it to charity. This will make room for new clothing without over filling your closet spaces.
The number one way to stay organized during the school year is to purchase a bulletin board. You can find these very inexpensively at most stores. They are perfect for keeping class schedules, school announcements and any other reminders handy. Be sure to have any school related meetings and teacher’s meetings on this board. It will help you to keep the whole year organized and ensure that you show up at specific school functions.
