Well, I homeschool all 3 of my kids but when they did go to public school (and actually even now), I bought all of their school clothes through the year prior. Whenever I saw a really great sale or something on clearance in the next size up, I’d grab it & stick it in my closet for next year 🙂

Getting a good night of sleep and a filling meal helps.
I think it’s a good idea to prepare their needed items for the next day. I also think it’s nice to have their input on what they would like for lunch.
have kids help make their lunches
I label *everything*
I tried color coding notebooks (green for science, red for math, etc.), but the kids take some time to get used to it. Now, I put a funky sticker on each notebook with their name, the class & even what period they need it so they can do a quick locker change or pull it out of their backpack without fumbling.
I also never give my kids all of their pens/pencils at once. I have a drawer that I keep the extras in, otherwise they lose them & I have to buy more.
Organization! Getting as much done the night before means less stress in the morning.
have them make their lunch and pick out clothes the night before. it saves SO much time in the mornings
