Top 5 Things to Clean & Prep for Back to School

The school buses are rolling again through Mooresville, Davidson, Cornelius, Huntersville, and Troutman — which means it’s time to get your home (and your kids!) ready for the new year. Here are our top 5 back-to-school must-dos.

1. Clear Out the Closet

Before the first bell rings, sort through last year’s clothes. Donate what no longer fits and organize the rest by day-of-the-week or outfit sets so mornings run smoother.

2. Reset the Entryway

A dedicated spot for backpacks, shoes, and lunchboxes near the door saves you from the daily scramble. A few labeled bins or hooks go a long way.

3. Deep Clean Backpacks & Lunchboxes

Wipe them down, toss expired snacks, and check zippers before the first day. A fresh start here means fewer “I can’t find it” mornings.

4. Organize School Supplies & Paperwork

Set up a simple filing system for permission slips, school calendars, and homework. A small command center in the kitchen keeps everyone on track all year.

5. Establish a Homework Station

Whether it’s a corner of the kitchen table or a dedicated desk, a clutter-free, well-stocked homework spot helps kids focus and builds good habits from day one.
