While there&#8217;s nothing wrong with waiting to get those lists, it often means making a mad dash to get to a store or order online. And those lists don&#8217;t necessarily cover the supplies you&#8217;ll need for homework, studying, and keeping schoolwork organized at home. With that in mind, we&#8217;ve prepared back-to-school checklists from elementary to college with the best items you can get ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-outline has-small-font-size is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"\/campaign\/back-to-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop All School Supplies<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>You might also like:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/the-best-binders-for-school-at-every-age-and-level\/\"><\/a><a href=\"\/blog\/the-best-binders-for-school-at-every-age-and-level\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Best Binders for School at Every Age and Level<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/blog\/tips-for-preparing-for-back-to-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8 Practical Tips for Preparing for Back to School<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-an-academic-planner-and-how-to-use-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What is an Academic Planner?

Of course, you will likely want to check the class list for specifics. However, it&#8217;s also important to know which binders can get you through on a budget and what to look for if you want your school binders to last. For that reason, instead of including regular school binders on these lists, we devoted an entire article to breaking down the best school binders for every age and level. You can also <a href=\"\/category\/products\/binders\/\">use our binder resource page to browse and compare styles as well as get ideas and inspiration<\/a> for more ways to organize with binders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-outline has-small-font-size is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"\/blog\/the-best-binders-for-school-at-every-age-and-level\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn how to choose the best binder<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Avery Reversible Glitter Dividers\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LvQ8Rg31YmM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Dividers always come in handy, why not go for glittery ones to add a bit of sparkle to your student&#8217;s day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-elementary-back-to-school-checklist\">Elementary back-to-school checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Undoubtedly, elementary-aged kids classes mean a lot of sticky little hands. So it&#8217;s always a good idea to get on top of reducing germs as early as possible. With that in mind, our elementary back-to-school list focuses on durable kids&#8217; school supplies that you can wipe down whenever &#8220;gunk happens.&#8221; In fact, we wrote an entire article about <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-label-school-supplies-so-you-can-clean-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to label school supplies so that you can still clean them<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, durable labels are fantastic for identifying school supplies so that they don&#8217;t get mixed up or lost. Moreover, sheet protectors are great for creating reusable worksheets you can write on with dry-erase markers. To demonstrate, simply slip any paper into a sheet protector to instantly make activity sheets, checklists, and schedules that are all reusable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to include school supplies that make back-to-school fun, for example, fun binders or glue sticks for crafting. Starting a new grade is a big deal anytime, but especially in elementary school, it&#8217;s a great idea to go the extra mile to make the new school year feel special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/web\/blog\/back-to-school-checklist-the-best-items-to-get-now-02\" alt=\"Avery durable labels 41413 are shown applied to plastic pouches for school.

For this reason, our back-to-school checklist for tweens is all about mixing the basics with customization. For example, supplies in fun colors and personalized DIY sticker decals make it easy for kids to express themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with, school supplies don\u2019t have to be boring. Your tween will love mixing and matching colorful dividers and Ultra Tabs\u00ae in a variety of colors and finishes. Next, consider helping your kids make custom stickers. They&#8217;re the perfect way for tweens to decorate their tablet, laptop, or school supplies. Not only are our DIY decal sheets safe for recommended surfaces, but they&#8217;re also easy to personalize. In fact, our top <a href=\"\/blog\/10-sticker-templates-for-making-fun-diy-decals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 sticker templates for making DIY decals<\/a> are perfect for easily creating personalized stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, think about ways to help your tween stay organized at home. Create laminated, reusable chore lists and weekly calendars they can use to practice managing their own time and tasks. Colorful dry-erase markers allow them to color-code or doodle as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/web\/blog\/back-to-school-checklist-the-best-items-to-get-now-07\" alt=\"A close up of a tween holding a pink electric guitar.

However, the reasons are somewhat different. Personalized school supplies are not only for self-expression. They also support more sophisticated projects and study schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, academic planners are a necessity for high school students to hone time-management skills that they will need in college and beyond. Furthermore, highlighters and index tabs facilitate more sophisticated studying, note-taking, and color coding. Not to mention the fact that tougher subjects, college prep, and everything else high school kids are taking on means organization is more important than ever. Durable plastic dividers are ideal for single-subject binders with complex units and assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, that&#8217;s not to say there&#8217;s no room for fun on your back-to-school checklist. For example, DIY decals work for high school students too. In fact, <a href=\"\/products\/labels\/61512\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our Surface Safe\u00ae printable decal sticker sheets<\/a> remove cleanly from metal and painted metal without leaving any residue. This makes them perfect for decorating lockers. In contrast, ultrafine-point permanent markers are perfect for decorating personal items like binders or sneakers while also being useful for school projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/web\/blog\/back-to-school-checklist-the-best-items-to-get-now-11\" alt=\"An open Avery academic planner (29874) is shown as an important item for a high school back-to-school checklist.
