Back to School Organization

Back to School season is upon us.  Ahhhhh I’m not ready for school yet, but it’s coming faster than I want it to and I want to be organized when it does come.  I went on a search to find some easy, inexpensive Back to School Organization.   Here are some things I found that would be practical for our family.  Hopefully, these will give you some ideas as well.

Back to School Organization Ideas

Look at this Back to School Station from 36th Avenue.  It’s super fun, colorful, and very organized. I like how the calculator and ruler are hanging.  I wonder if Desiree has a way for things to magically be put back??  If anyone has a secret, let me know!

These whiteboards and the three baskets hanging for papers and folders would come in very handy.
Keep track of each child’s daily schedules and hang backpacks and coats beneath each child’s name.
I love the look of this. Love it! Great way to bring in color inexpensively.  Not sure how practical it would be in our family’s lives, but I love the look.
 Love this idea of using wallpaper scraps on clipboards, then hanging them to act as an inspiration board/bulletin board.
This would be great for a large family.
PB Kids inspired Family Daily Organization Board
Dual Homework Station
Love the looks of this dual station.
Cute, SIMPLE Homeschool/Homework Station
Again another system to hang backpacks underneath it each individual child’s to do. I like the pictures on them.  I’m pretty sure my 13 yo boys wouldn’t like their pictures up there.

Homework Stations

I’m in love with this combo desk and have been for a long time. I included this picture in my Teen Boys Bedroom Ideas. The only place it would work in our house is in the boy bedrooms and I honestly think it would never get used or the homework would never get done because it’s out of my sight.  But I’m in love…..
Organized Homework Posters
These are poster board organizers. They would be very inexpensive!
.
I like the corkboard with the initials on it.  You could customize this for your needs.
Message Center
Just a cute little-organized space.  Aren’t the clothespins glued to the shelf with the days of the week clever?
Small Space Home Offices

Here are a few smaller organizers. 

Any one of these would be great on our kitchen desk so everything is very accessible.

I learned something about myself.  I LOVE the looks of all these spaces. What I love is the clean, crisp, organized look.  Mine starts out looking that way but doesn’t always stay that way.  I’m great at planning and accomplishing this look, but keeping it that way is another thing.  Do any of you have this issue or am I the only one????

I’m going to pull from a few of these ideas and put them together and I’ll show you next week what I did.  I’ve got my creative juices flowing.  Here is the link to My Back to School Organization.

Do you have a great way you organize for Back to School?  Please share.

    I am deferentially the same way. Would probably stay that way for about a week then a mess all over again.

    I love the idea of that little front area with the person's schedule, hooks for jacket and and area to write stuff. I would love to do that to my front hall, now to see if my husband will let me! Hil recently posted...Five Friday Favourites #1My Profile

      I kinda have something similar. Sometimes things never make it to the hooks but at least we have a basic plan. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend.
