Now, I’m no expert, but I’ve handled back-to-school mornings for six years. That’s six times re-establishing a routine after the freedom of summer, six rounds of buying supplies I didn’t expect to need (who knew glue sticks multiply?), and six first days where I forgot something and our whole morning felt off. Not this year. I’ve simplified things into an Easy Back to School Morning Routine and created a printable checklist so we don’t miss anything.
What IS This Easy Back to School Morning Routine?
- Wake up on time.
- Shower or wash up.
- Brush teeth.
- Brush hair.
- Get dressed.
- Eat a healthy breakfast.
- Take children’s vitamins if you use them.
- Put on shoes.
- Grab a drink to stay hydrated.
- Final backpack check before heading out.
Why This Back to School Morning Routine?
Where Do You Get the Stuff You Need for This Back to School Morning Routine?
Start by downloading the printable checklist as a PDF or JPG to hang on the fridge or tuck into a folder. Then pick up any remaining school supplies—pens, glue sticks, folders—at your local store. If you use kids’ vitamins, look in the children’s vitamins section where you shop. Having everything in one place makes mornings smoother and helps kids follow the checklist independently.
If this Easy Back to School Morning Routine helps your family, share the printable with friends so they can enjoy an easier first week of school as well.
