FAQs and Details About Back to School Shopping

Getting ready for a new school year is exciting—and a little stressful. At Academy, we make it easy. Whether you're shopping for back to school shoes, clothing, or backpacks, we've got you covered. Our wide selection means you’ll find top brands, great prices, and styles your kids will love. We offer both online convenience and in-store support. That means more ways to save, faster shopping, and fewer back-to-school headaches. Shop Academy for the deals, quality, and variety your family needs this school year.

A backpack should not be wider than your child's torso and should sit two inches above their waist. When packed, it should weigh no more than 10% to 20% of your child's body weight to prevent strain. Consider the backpack's capacity, measured in liters, based on your child's grade level:

  • Elementary school (Grades 1-5): 15-30 liters
  • Middle school (Grades 6-8): 25-40 liters
  • High school (Grades 9-12): 35-50+ liters

A great school shoe balances comfort, support, and durability. Look for cushioned insoles for comfort, sturdy outsoles for grip, and materials that can handle daily wear and tear on the playground.

  • Younger kids need shoes with easy closures like Velcro or elastic laces. These help with independence.
  • Older students often prefer sneakers with ankle support for sports or walking between classes.
  • PE classes or team sports? Choose running shoes or trainers with traction and flexibility.
  • Some schools require uniform shoes. Check guidelines before buying.
  • Academy offers all types—from playground-ready to classroom-perfect, to sports-specific shoes.

  • An insulated lunch box or bag is essential because it helps keep cold foods cold and warm foods warm. This ensures that their lunch remains fresh and safe to eat by midday.
  • Without proper insulation, perishable foods can enter the temperature "danger zone" (between 40°F and 140°F) where bacteria multiply rapidly, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. An insulated lunch box, especially when used with ice packs, helps maintain a safe temperature. It also prevents spoilage, keeping food more appealing and nutritious.

  • Most back to school sales begin in mid-July and peak in August.
  • Early shopping means better selection and deals on popular items.
  • Sign up for Academy emails or download our app for first notice on back to school deals.
  • Don’t miss tax-free weekends in your state—they’re a great time to save even more.
  • Academy’s weekly specials and bundle offers help you stretch your school budget further.

Meeting your school's uniform policy is simple with the right essentials. Most guidelines require standard solid polo shirts (white, navy, or red) and khaki or navy bottoms. Because every student is unique, we carry an extensive range of sizes from slim to plus. Use the comparison table below to find the ideal fabric for your child's everyday comfort and durability.
