20 Organization Projects to Make Back-to-School a Breeze

August 3 by Alli

TONS of great ideas here - love the self-serve lunch stations and study spaces the most.

It’s back-to-school month. You know what that means – time to buckle down and set up some solid morning, lunch packing, and maybe even homework routines. It wouldn’t hurt to set up a backpack and study zone either!

Here’s Alli with 20 of the best projects out there to get you organized for Back-to-School.

My oldest son will be starting a Mother’s Day Out program this Fall. I know, I know. That’s small potatoes in the back-to-school world. But still. It has my heart in a lurch.

I’m already in a tizzy about lunch boxes and tupperware. Backpacks and nap mats. I can’t even IMAGINE the chaos that comes with kindergarten, junior high, or high school.

And my heart panics a little as I type those words, because…well…my BABY! And those days are looming. Right around the corner. Excuse me while I peel myself off the floor.

But I digress.

I’ve decided that the only thing capable of easing these back-to-school Mom jitters, is a little dose of organization. Because not only does organization make life easier, it distracts us from the worries and fears of sending our BABIES back into the trenches. Am I right?!

Without further ado. Here are 20 back-to-school organization projects to help make your educational re-entry seamless.

  1. Review these tips from a teacher on calming first day jitters
  2. Check out this roundup of back-to-school chapter and picture books
  3. Make a backpack and school work drop-off station
  4. Make an “over the door” school supply organizer
  5. Create an amazing computer work station
  6. Make a magnetic lunch chart 
  7. Make a portable homework caddy
  8. Organize back-to-school clothes by days of the week. 
  9. Create a school lunch packing station
  10. Make a mini homework station
  11. Organize school paperwork
  12. Make a family calendar
  13. Plan your after school routine
  14. Make an art cart
  15. Make your own school binders (with printables)
  16. Make  a “Back-To-School Checklist (or print this one)
  17. Create an “On the Go” homework station
  18. Simplify your morning routine
  19. Organize your pantry for quick and easy meals
  20. Simplify your “Mom To-Do List”
