Well first off School supplies. Buy them when on sale! Stock up to last the year. Right now everyones got them cheap. Get those pencils, notebooks, glue, scissors, staplers, folders and paper. You will always need those no matter what. Also through out the year clearances you can find all kids of school supplies so check them and get them.
Next school clothes same as supplies check clearances and discount stores like Ross. Alot cheaper and shop all year long and stock up even a size bigger this saves me alot.
Next would be schedules. Now with school comes homework, after school programs and etc. Make a schedule, write it down and stick to it. It definitely saves your sanity and your kids!
Next prepare your kids. Show them the school, walk around it and get them familiar with it. Talk with teachers, principles and all. Talk to your kids what it will be like and make it a happy experience.
A new one for me and my oldest is lockers. She has no clue on locks so I am buying her a lock to practice on at home to get prepared for school so she is not freaking out that she cant get her locker open. This will calm her some too.
