Back-to-School Checklist

Hard to believe it’s about to start again…start prepping now :)

1. Refresh routines:

• Revisit bedtime & morning routines before the first day.

• Create a weekly meal plan to ease weeknight stress.

2. Organize study & creative spaces:

• Clear clutter from desks or dining tables that double as homework spots.

• Stock up on school supplies now, before the late‑August rush.

3. Sign up for something fun:

• Youth soccer leagues (AYSO San Diego & San Diego Surf)

• Art classes at San Diego Art Institute or The Hot Spot Pottery

• Music lessons at local studios like Bertrand’s Music or Villa Musica

• Kids yoga & mindfulness workshops at local studios

4. Set family goals for fall:

• Plan at least one family adventure or day trip (Julian apple picking or La Jolla tide pools).

• Commit to a no‑phones dinner night each week.

• Volunteer together — food bank, beach cleanup, or school PTA.

Little resets like these help everyone head into the school year feeling balanced, connected, and excited for what’s ahead.
