Back to school shopping will look a lot different in 2020. But whether your child is doing in-person classes, remote learning, or a hybrid of the two, there are still many supplies you will need.
Here are 14 must-have supplies for the 2020-21 academic year:
1. MASKS
Even if your child is learning from home, you can’t go anywhere without one during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can buy cloth face coverings everywhere nowadays. Search Amazon, Etsy, Staples and Target to find a variety of face coverings. You can also ask if anyone in your community makes them.
3. WEEKLY FRIDGE CALENDARAlthough many after-school programs and sports will be canceled for the fall semester, a weekly calendar is still a must. Many parents are working from home and need to make sure everyone is on the same page. With
this dry erase magnetic calendar on Amazon your schedule will be hard to miss. Markers and eraser are included
10. WATER BOTTLELet the kids hydrate in style with a water bottle that isn’t bigger than their heads. The
CamelBak Eddy Kids Bottle is spill resistant with all sorts of cool prints and a flip-up straw. It’s also easy to use, so it will limit the need of a teacher helping them drink.
