Summer break is over, which means only one thing—school is back in session! But before your kids sharpen their pencils and crack open their books, you’ll want to make sure everything is in order before the first bell rings.

Check out these cool ideas to help your favorite students get organized as they prepare to go back to school.

Do your kids have a designated place to organize their assignments and classroom handouts at home? You don’t want them keeping their papers in their backpack, where lessons can get crumpled and ripped. Plus, they may need to refer to those notes later in the school year.

Help your children organize their work throughout the school year by creating a simple filing system. Customize file folders with Avery File Folder Labels and duotangs with Avery Report Cover Labels so they can organize their schoolwork by class, subject, or specific project. Your little scholars can reference their paperwork as needed to prepare for big tests and write those reports.

The students in your kids’ classes may have similar binders, lunch boxes, and other supplies that can get lost in the hustle and bustle of a busy school day. How can they tell whose is whose?

Make it easy for your kids to identify what’s theirs and avoid any mix-ups by marking their personal property. Add a unique and colourful permanent Avery Self-laminated Kids label to lunch boxes and water bottles. Not only are they waterproof, they're microwave, dishwasher safe and will help ensure containers come home.   Then using Avery Design & Print Online Software, find your favourite designs and templates to add some more colour and personalization by decorating binders or books  with Avery Round Labels or Avery Address Labels.

When your son or daughter brings a jacket to school on a chilly day or if they use a cloth lunch bag, there’s always a chance these items can get misplaced or find their way into Lost & Found.

Personalized articles of clothing and lunch bags can help finders identify the rightful owner. Just write on your child’s name to these easy to apply Avery No-Iron Clothing Labels and place them inside their clothing or cloth lunch bag for easy identification.

As you gear up the family to get ready for school, make it a plan to spend some quality time with your favorite back-to-schoolers to create these easy-to-use, customizable projects together. With items like these to help your children get organized, getting a fresh start to the new school year will be as easy as A-B-C!
