How do I prepare my home for back-to-school season?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Create a dedicated homework station with good lighting and minimal distractions. Organize entryways with hooks and cubbies for backpacks and shoes. Set up a family command center for schedules, permission slips, and important papers. Establish morning and evening routines. Declutter and reorganize spaces that accumulated summer mess.
Why It Matters
An organized home reduces back-to-school stress for the whole family. Thoughtful preparation makes morning routines smoother and homework time more productive.
