Every back-to-school resource out there is for your kid. This one is for you.
In 20 minutes tonight, you’ll see every date that matters, what to do next, and what it’ll cost through September.
One time. Instant access. Weekly emails through Sept 19.
It’s 9:40 on a hot summer night. You finally sit down, and it hits you: school is coming. The physicals. The forms. The supply list that sells out in three days. The aftercare thing you meant to look into back in May. You don’t have a plan. You have a low hum of dread and the suspicion you’ve already forgotten something.
If you have, it isn’t because you dropped the ball. Half of these deadlines were set back in April, and nobody tells you they exist until they’ve already passed.
You’re the one in your house who keeps track of everything, with no system keeping track for you. That’s the reason this exists.
One time. Instant access. Weekly emails through Sept 19.
Read one short timeline. Then get one small to-do a week.
1. Read the Coverage Timeline once.
It’s a 10‑minute skim with every date, form, and fee through the end of September, in the order they hit. You’ll see what’s coming and jump straight to what’s true for your family first.
2. Put your key school dates in your calendar.
Fifteen minutes, once, and you’re done. Add your own first day, half days, picture day. The timeline counts from your first day, so you always know what’s next for you.
3. Then check your inbox on Saturdays.
From mid‑July to September 19, one short email gives you one move that matters. Forms one week, physicals the next. You never get the whole pile at once, and you’re never the one who has to remember what’s next.
You stop carrying the school calendar in your head.
It covers both waves, not just the first one.
Most back‑to‑school advice stops at the first day. But the deadlines and the costs keep coming for another month, and nobody warns you about round two. This kit covers both.
Wave one
July into August
The prep scramble: physicals, forms, supplies, the childcare gap, the sleep shift.
Wave two · the part nobody preps
September
The second wave hits in the first two weeks: picture day with a 48‑hour order window, the classroom fund, spirit wear, PTA dues, fundraiser packets, field trip fees. Small charge after small charge. This is the only kit that sees it coming and shows you how to plan for it before it lands.
What’s inside
A 10‑minute Coverage Timeline plus seven short modules. Open what fits, skip the rest.
Forms, Portals & the Admin Avalanche. One 30‑minute sitting instead of 10–15 separate forms. You fill family info once, then paste it everywhere after.
Appointments & Physicals. Beat the 4–8 week backlog. Copy the exact words that get you booked, plus the move to make if you’re already late.
Childcare & the Schedule Reset. See the exact afternoons school ends before work. Copy the email that gets you on the aftercare list and cover the odd days off.
Supplies & the Clothes Audit. Buy once, on time, before the specific items sell out. Do a quick size check first and skip the things that either drop in price later or won’t fit by October.
Lunches & Mornings. A morning flow and lunch rotation that still works in week three, not just for a first‑day photo.
The Budget Blindside. A pre‑filled spreadsheet that shows your real July–September total up front, so you set the September money aside before it hits your statement.
The Transition. Two‑week sleep shift, words for a nervous kid, and the part nobody writes about: what going back to school does to you.
Nothing shows up blank. The budget is already filled with typical numbers. The forms sheet has sample rows to overwrite. You’re editing, not starting from scratch.
One time. Instant access. Weekly emails through Sept 19.
Why me
Before I had kids, part of my job was planning big launches: mapping out every deadline and dependency months in advance so nothing slipped. I was great at seeing what was coming and how to handle it.
Then I had two and got completely overwhelmed. Everything hit without warning, and I felt like I was failing at something everyone else seemed to just know.
One night it clicked: this is a launch. Same moving parts, same hidden deadlines. I just hadn’t made the plan. So I found where every date hides, put them in order, and built what I needed.
Now I do that thinking for you, so your summer night ends with a plan instead of a pit in your stomach.
Open the hub tonight, copy your dates, and in 20 minutes you’ll know exactly what’s next and what it’ll cost through September.
How it reaches you
Everything below is the same kit, in whatever format you actually reach for:
- A weekly email, every Saturday from mid-July through September 19, with that week’s one thing to do.
- The full kit as a Notion template, Google Doc, and PDF (the timeline and all seven modules): same content, your choice of home.
- The budget as a Google Sheet, yours to copy so the math runs itself.
- Printable one-pagers for the fridge: the morning routine, the lunch rotation, the sleep shift, the closet list.
One time. Instant access. Weekly emails through Sept 19.
The fine print
$47, one time. No subscription, no recurring charge. You get the entire kit plus every weekly email for this school year, mid‑July through September 19.
All sales are final. It’s a digital download, so there are no refunds. That’s why everything included is listed right here in full: no surprises, no fine print doing the selling.
After the season, you’ll also start getting my Wednesday emails, one short note a week. Leave anytime.
Got a few questions?
Is it too late if I buy in August? Or September?
No. This is built for exactly that. Jump to the start‑here‑late lane at the top of the timeline, and the recovery section catches anything whose window already closed. Every weekly email is saved in your hub so you can catch up in one sitting. The timeline counts from your first day of school, so it works no matter when you start.
Do I need to know Notion?
No. It opens in your browser as a Notion page, with links at the top to a Google Doc and a printable PDF. The budget is a Google Sheet you copy. The one‑pagers are PDFs. You can duplicate the Notion version if you want to, and you’ll never need it if you don’t.
My school hasn’t posted its calendar yet, or it starts at a weird time.
No problem. You drop in your own dates, and the timeline counts from your first day, so it works for any district, any start date, public or private. The weekly emails run on a seasonal schedule, and the few that depend on start date are written to cover both early starters and Labor Day families.
Why pay for this when I could Google it or use ChatGPT, which is free?
You could. This is that Googling already done for the whole season, in the order things hit, with the exact scripts and the spreadsheet already built. You’re paying to spend those hours with your kids instead of in forty tabs at 10 pm.
What if only three of the seven modules apply to my family?
Perfect. Those are the three that would have eaten your August. You’re not paying by the module. You’re paying to have the season sorted. Use what fits, skip the rest. Nobody uses all seven, and everybody’s glad the right ones were there.
Walk into September already ahead.
The deadlines are coming either way. You can meet them in July with a plan or in September in a panic.
