It happens to the best of us… you’re sitting outside, soaking in summer break, when it hits: the school planning bug. Your brain wonders if it’s too early, but you sure would love to feel on top of things when back to school season hits! I promise – no one’s saying skip the beach… but a little planning now can mean way fewer late nights come August!
****** Read to the end for a HUGE summer 2025 announcement******
That’s where the Classroom Setup Pack comes in. In this post, I’ll show you how to use it for quick, low-stress summer prep. It’s organized by topic, easy to print, and packed with materials you’ll actually use—so you can get ahead without giving up your break.
Let's break this post down into three categories of summer prep so you can start the planning slowly, doing each section when you're ready!
1- Prepping Classroom Displays (The Easy Way)
💡 Tip: Print what you need, toss on a good show, and cut away. Bonus points if you laminate.
Calendar
Start with refreshing your calendar display. The print and go templates are super versatile. Simply print on any colored paper so it fits your classroom vibe/ theme. You can go rainbow or boho – whatever you love!
Class Jobs
Choose from 35+ student job cards and prep this while sitting at the pool! The set includes all the visuals for the board PLUS a fun job application template and a birthday board too!
Other Essential Visuals
From dismissal routines, lunch count, and class rules, to ASL signals and open house/ meet the teacher displays… Let us take the the guesswork out of your back to school prep. Just click ~ print ~ then hit the beach!
Once visuals are in place, you can move on to organizing all the things!
2- Time to Organize It ALL with Labels
Next year you won't have all the classroom clutter because everything will have a label and a place!
Digital Prep to do in the Summer
Summer is the perfect time to tackle a few digital to-dos—nothing major, just simple prep that sets you up for a smoother start.
Instead of digging through random folders or re-downloading things you’ve used in the past, the Classroom Setup Pack puts everything in one organized file. Along with essentials like calendar pieces, job charts, and labels, it includes editable templates you can start customizing now—like open house signs, gift tags, and newsletters. A few quick tweaks over the summer means less scrambling once the school year begins.
Create Student Accounts
Head to any website used with your class that requires you to set up student accounts. I like to create these accounts in the summer as soon as I get my class list. This allows me to have their login cards ready to go on day one.
Keep all of your students' login info in one spot!
Get the Classroom Setup Bundle
Teachers say this pack actually made setup fun again. It’s flexible, matches any theme, and gives you everything you need for summer prep the easy way!
