Although onsite learning is an uncertainty for many students this fall, we have worked to round up the best school supplies, many of which are useful for virtual learning as well.
Here on the Insider Reviews team, our job is to help our readers find the best products and services out there. We've compiled a list of all our back-to-school articles so you can easily find what you're looking for.
Whether you need a lunchbox for your kindergartener or a laptop for your senior year of college, we have an article or guide to help you find the best back-to-school supplies.

Back-to-school season is stressful at the best of times. Between making sure your student has the right number of notebooks, folders, and every textbook on their list, the sheer amount of supplies they have to stock up on can make your head spin. And if you're sending them off to college, that's a whole new — and much longer — list of supplies they'll need to leave the nest.

Here at Insider Reviews, we've made it our mission to research and test all the gear your kids will need for a successful school year. From backpacks and lunch boxes to laptops and printers, we've put together this list of dozens of reviews and buying guides to bring you the best of whatever you're looking for.

We've also included a selection of health and safety supplies for both kids and adults to ensure students and teachers alike can stay safe if they're going back to classroom learning amid the coronavirus pandemic.
