Back-to-school season has a way of sneaking up on families. In fact, 71% of parents say that no matter how early they start preparing, they still end up making a last-minute back-to-school purchase. To help make those unexpected shopping trips easier, Shipt and DSW have teamed up to bring same-day delivery from DSW stores through the Shipt app and Shipt.com to nearly 75 million households nationwide.

That means one forgotten item, a sudden growth spurt or a last-minute shoe emergency doesn’t have to derail the day as families settle back into their routine. DSW has everything from dress shoes, sandals, sneakers, and accessories too, all from top brands including New Balance, Crocs, adidas and Steve Madden, with same-day delivery right to their doorstep. Through September 12, shoppers can also save $15 on DSW orders of $75 or more with promo code DSW15.

Another program helping families prepare for the new school year is Planet Fitness’ High School Summer Pass. Through August 31, teens ages 14 to 19 can work out for free at more than 2,900 Planet Fitness locations across the U.S. and Canada, giving them an opportunity to build healthy habits, prioritize their well-being and establish a consistent workout routine before school begins.

According to Planet Fitness, nearly 90% of teens say working out has helped them spend less time on their phones this summer. That break from screen time is also helping teens feel better overall, both physically and mentally. It’s not too late to sign up—teens can visit their local Planet Fitness club or register online at PlanetFitness.com/SummerPass.

As the countdown to the first day of school begins, a little preparation can go a long way. Getting back into an earlier sleep schedule, laying out clothes the night before, and checking that backpacks and school essentials are ready can help create a smoother, less stressful start to the school year.
