Back-to-school to-do list
Sleep & daily routines: While summer vacation can mean a break from the alarm clock, you can help set your student up for success by slowly bringing it back before school starts. A few weeks to a month in advance, adjust their sleep routine by setting an alarm and a bedtime schedule. It may also help to bring structure back into their daily schedule, such as set meal times and screen limits.
Create a study & homework space: A tidy, quiet desk space at home may help your child focus better on their studying. Consider ergonomic items like a comfortable keyboard, mouse, and chair, plus a task lamp, study timer and headphones.
Organize school supplies: The night before class, help your student pack their backpack with the supplies they’ll need. Make sure to keep a few extra pencils, notebooks, and spare calculator batteries at home too. If you haven’t done your school supply shopping yet, this checklist below is a good place to start.

How to clean & disinfect the classroom
Before the first day of school or at the end of a busy day, take advantage of an empty classroom to give it a good clean.
Declutter: Remove any unnecessary items and organize the space to make cleaning easier.
Clean surfaces: For small messes like dripped glue or food spills, wipe the surface clean with Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and let dry. For big cleaning jobs, use soap and water or Clorox Disinfecting All-Purpose Cleaner to remove excess dirt from desks, chairs, and other surfaces.
Disinfect high-touch areas: Use EPA-approved disinfectants like Clorox Disinfecting Wipes on frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, light switches and computer keyboards (follow manufacturer instructions when cleaning electronics).
Clean soft surfaces: Vacuum carpets and rugs, and launder items like curtains and cloth toys according to manufacturer instructions. Use Clorox™ Fabric Sanitizer or Clorox™ Disinfecting Mist on cushions and pillows.
Empty trash bins: Dispose of trash and replace liners regularly to maintain cleanliness.
Ventilate: Ensure proper ventilation while cleaning to avoid inhaling fumes from cleaning products.
