Back to School: The Essentials Guide
Back-to-school shopping is an exciting rite of passage for you and your child, but it also can feel like a chore. We're here to help with a guide on what you really need to buy
After spending a summer reconnecting with friends and family, enjoying the outdoors, and (hopefully!) making time for vacation, it's time for your kids to head back to school—and face-to-face, for most! They're ready to learn, grow, and hang out with their friends and classmates once again. But they'll need some help to get there. Before the exciting first day of school, you'll need to get all the gear (think backpacks, masks, pens) together to make school a success.
Organization is the key to success especially in school. Teaching your kids why it’s important to stay organized is a great lesson even before they go to school. So whether you're opting to shop in-store*, online, or through our Personal Shopper on Call*, here's a list of of the most important organization tools like backpacks, lunch boxes, and accessories that you can equip your kids with this school year.

BAGS
At the top of every back-to-school shopping list are back to school bags. There are so many sizes and styles from backpacks to messenger bags. Make sure you check the dimensions of the bag to make sure its not too small or too big for your child.

SHOES
Proper footwear is essential to foot health, so it’s important for you to ensure your kids go back to school with a good foundation on their feet. Shoes are definitely one of the most important back-to-school purchases parents will make.
Some kids' feet change and grow with them, you may need to update their shoes and socks more frequently to accommodate this growth. Remember: shoes that don’t fit properly can irritate the feet and affect how well your kid walks, runs, and plays.

LUNCH BOXES
Lunch boxes should either fit inside your kid's backpack or strapped to the front. It’s no fun for kids to have to wear a backpack and carry a lunch box. A good lunch box should also be waterproof and not leak any spilled food or drink.
It’s also important to keep your kids hydrated throughout the day. Most teachers will allow kids to have a water bottle with them in class. Send your kids to school with a water bottle that fits in their backpack or lunch box.

WRITING SUPPLIES
Regardless of your kid's grade level, writing utensils are essential back-to-school supplies. However, as they get older, they will expand from pencils and crayons to pens and highlighters. To make sure your child is always ready, buy a good amount of writing and coloring tools at the start of the year: ballpoint pens, pencils, crayons, markers, and highlighters.
