Practical guides

Separate classroom supplies from a daily packing list

Back-to-school supplies and daily belongings solve different jobs. Sort each school request by where it stays and how often it travels.

Sort supplies by where they stay

Read the school’s list.
Mark items delivered once that stay in class.
Identify supplies that travel every day.
Put weekly extras on their required weekdays.
Keep purchases and replacements on a restock list.

Buying is not packing

Buying pencils does not make the daily pencil case ready. Review scanned items the same way before adding them to a daily bag.

The real Carrylist app

Keep this in your child’s bag list

Put daily travelers in the bag, weekly extras in routines, and one-time supplies on their own date.
