   If only it was possible to find disinfecting wipes! It’s like winning the lottery if you do. 😉

  I was able to order Clorox wipes (3 packs) from Amazon recently. It was available for an extremely brief period this morning. Keep checking. They go in and out of stock. You can order upto 3 max. But in order to get your order go through fast (before it get removed from your cart due to out of stock), I suggest you only order only 1 at a time. Hope this helps.

  Another option is from Costco.online and they are available now (at least for my zip code). If you have Costco membership, you can order online 5 packs of 85ct each for $22.99 shipped. Kirkland disinfecting wipes 304ct also available for $17.99 shipped. Limit 1 each item. Prices was a bit higher because they have built in shipping & handling. I was unable to find in store though some people have luck finding them in Costco stores.

   I have my sites on my favorites. I check Walgreens, Walmart and Amazon, frequently. The trick is to stay on top of these websites and see when it’s available and buy them. I just checked my Walgreens (Chicago) and they had disinfectant spray behind the counter (onlineplete Home brand). They had NICE wipes a couple of weeks ago and I bought the limit, 2. Keep checking Amazon, they have Lysol spray for $5+ through Amazon fresh, just got one Thursday and added a few items I would have bought at the store anyways. Good luck to everyone..

   I’m a little confused, are there a lot of states that still have in person school? Because all the schools here are distance learning. I mean I know there was that photo of the Georgia school that went viral but I kind of assumed that would cause a lot of other schools to do distance learning as well..

  My school is giving parents the choice. Most families are choosing in class.

  4 options wow! We have 2- Digital academy or in person. There’s a rumor in person will go remote when flu season starts.

  Our state seems like it is mostly going in person although most schools have an online version available. Also has to do with the state funding regarding virtual learning.

  Our school is distant learning or independent studies (home school) which is what we’ve done for the past 4 years, but we still have to go in and get all the materials and meet the advisor.

  Our district in NJ is going in-person every other day for a half-day. Days not in- person are online.

  My county is giving parents, but not teachers a choice. I’m back in the classroom right now and I will have face to face kids next week. I’m in Florida.

   Thanks fellow hipsters for the tips on where to find wipes, the Lysol wipes and spray are on my sons back to school list, but I haven’t seen any in store since before the pandemic. I will keep checking! We also have the option, virtual or in class and are starting an A B schedule. I bet we will end up virtual at some point bc I just assume there will be cluster outbreaks. I would keep my kid home, but my husband insists and he wants to go, so I’m over ruled…

   I’ve had luck finding wipes at Target. They only allow 1, so usually have some left! I find them usually on Monday/Tuesday mid day. Our district is online or in person, but starting with online for everyone and in person starts end of September. However, they’re offering in person prior to that for families with hardships who don’t have childcare etc. Those students will be spaced out 6 feet in the gym with a “library” like setting while doing online work like everyone else. So, they will need supplies. I plan on sending some even though my kiddos will be home as long as they allow it. These are still our teachers, and still our kids classmates. Keeping the class supplied and helping they stay clean/safe still matters to us.

    Not every teacher will be able to use those cleaning supplies. The district I work for has very strict rules about cleaning products. The only things from your suggestion list I would be able to use are the hand sanitizer and paper towels.

  Thanks so much for the heads up and warning that not all teachers may be able to use these items. Good to know to check into what will work best for your school. 💕
