Back to School Moving

At Black Tie Moving, we know that local moving in August in Dallas, TX can feel like juggling two major life events at once - starting a new school year and settling into a new home. If you’re moving with kids, timing your move around school enrollment, supply shopping, and first-day prep is crucial.

Families in Dallas often ask us, “Is August a good month to move?” The answer is yes—with the right planning. August offers warm weather, flexible schedules, and a chance to get settled before the school year fully ramps up. But to make it all work, especially with little ones in tow, you need a strategy that works around back-to-school season. That’s where we come in.

Your Week-by-Week August Moving & School Prep Calendar

Planning ahead is key when coordinating your back to school move in Dallas. Use this timeline to avoid stress and stay organized from start to finish.

Week 1: Confirm School Details & Start Sorting

  • Contact the school district to confirm enrollment requirements and deadlines.

  • Collect school records and transfer documents.

  • Sort and declutter rooms—get the whole family involved.

Tip: Dallas ISD begins school in mid-August. Check start dates and adjust your moving timeline if needed.

Week 2: Register, Shop & Start Packing

  • Complete school enrollment.

  • Begin shopping for uniforms, backpacks, and supplies.

  • Schedule your move date—weekends or Fridays work best for kids.

Tip: Book your Dallas movers early. August fills up fast, and weekend slots go quickly.

Week 3: Final Prep & Room Labeling

  • Pack kids’ rooms last and label boxes by child.

  • Create a “first day” essentials bin with clothes, snacks, forms, and school supplies.

  • Prepare a moving day kit with chargers, water bottles, and snacks.

Tip: Let kids pack a "favorites" backpack with toys, books, or comfort items.

Week 4: Moving Day & School Kickoff

  • Move into your new home at least 2-3 days before school starts if possible.

  • Set up kids’ rooms first to provide comfort and familiarity.

  • Visit the new school or take a practice walk to the bus stop.
