If the “summer-ending-and-school-starting” ritual makes you anxious, then participate in Back to School Month this August — an event that helps parents, students, and teachers prepare for the new academic year. Celebrated since the 1960s, Back to School Month will motivate you to start your back-to-school shopping and get you excited overall. So put away the beach bag and pick up the backpack, because it’s time for Back to School Month events.

Searching for the right back to school gift can be expensive. Fortunately, back to school sales have started early this year, so we're rounding up back to school gifts for every budget.

A back to school gift can either be an educational essential, or something for when all the work is done. From laptops to streaming devices, there are plenty of options that students can use throughout the academic year.

It's back to school time again and this year might be different once again. As summer comes to a close teachers are preparing for that big first day of school. This year, for many of us, it means going back to in-person instruction after over a year away. Or perhaps your instruction is a hybrid of in-person teaching and distance learning.

However, one thing we know is true, no matter where you or your students are learning from, those first few weeks of school are crucial for community and relationship building. Lucky for us, many of the beginning of the year activities we know and love can be done in any classroom!

Going back to school should be an exciting time, but understandably for some children the transition can be hard. Just host a back-to-school party for your kids!
