Your packing checklist

A starting list. Follow your school or activity’s instructions. Checks last only while this page stays open.

Check whether clothes travel

Some schools photograph children in ordinary uniform. Others allow a change. Use the school’s actual message so an extra outfit does not become an unnecessary daily item.

Remove the dated extras

After photo day, remove the form and spare outfit from tomorrow’s list. Keep any order instructions with the school messages rather than inside the bag.

Keep this in your child’s bag list

Give the school photo day bag its own Carrylist list. Use routines for recurring gear and a one-off item for a dated extra.
