Back to School Organization Tools

New for the 2017/2018 School Year:

Having tools and systems in place helps actively keep your paperwork organized.

Today, I'm talking about the elementary school age, and how to keep those documents organized. Many elementary schools have student take-home folders brought home in their backpacks. When schools do this, they teach children the proper way to handle such work and be responsible for putting it away in the same place every day. When parents are ready to address the work, they know exactly where it is, and these particular products can help zero-in on the specific documents necessary. Here are three new examples of how to keep your child organized:


Multi-pocket organizer by Smead

Each child in the household should have a folder that will handle both their school work and any additional activities they may be involved with. This brand new Poly StackIt Organizer is like a 1-stop-shop for all the student information the little one brings home! One one side, you can put all school info, current communications, fundraising, report cards, test results, rosters/phone numbers (directories) etc. The vertical folders allow you to quickly get to the specific paperwork you need. These StackIt Organizers easily fit inside backpacks. Store them in any magazine rack, desk drawer, or hanging file system.
