Back-to-school shopping has become an end-of-summer event. We should know: There are 13 parents on staff at the Strategist with kids ranging in age from newborn to teenage. Collectively, we have wrangled a lot of school-supplies lists year in and year out. To help make it a little easier to get your own students ready for the upcoming academic year, we’ve rounded up 100 essential items in every category you can think of — from the best backpacks and indestructible sneakers to the water bottles we buy on repeat — all Strategist approved.
New! You can now save this product for later.
