The Mom I Want to Be

Check with your child’s school.  Many participate with a pre-packaged supply site such as Desktop School Supplies or Schoolpak.  You can order all your supplies at once online, and save a trip to the store.  Plus, such sites provide something back to your child’s school – often free supplies for teachers, etc.  

 

If your school doesn’t, then its time to go shopping with your kids! Before you hit the stores with your kids, print out this handy checklist of essentials every student needs.  But don’t forget to get a more detailed list from your child’s school as some teachers have specific requests.
