Before the 6 a.m. alarms and lunchbox prep routines start all over again, there’s one big task parents have to tackle: the back-to-school list. From notebooks to name tags, shoes to snacks, the list can be daunting. But good news—SM has it all covered.

Whether you’re a parent gearing up for your child’s first day of school, a college student prepping for OJT, or someone looking for essentials with ease, SM City Marilao, SM Center Pulilan, and SM City Baliwag are your go-to shopping havens this season. With everything conveniently located under one roof, getting school-ready has never been this fun or stress-free.

School Supplies

Start your shopping spree at the Stationery department inside The SM Store and National Book store, where you’ll find pens, papers, notebooks, crayons, folders, and every art material imaginable. You can even stock up in bulk for big savings.

New Shoes, New Energy

Need durable black shoes or a comfy pair of sneakers for PE? Head to the Men’s, Women’s, or Kids’ Shoes section at SM Store of SM City Marilao and Baliwag. You may also visit Simply Shoes at SM Center Pulilan.  With dozens of brands and styles to choose from, you’ll find the perfect fit for every school day—and every personality.

Dress for Success

Uniforms might be standard, but that doesn’t mean your kids’ everyday wear can’t be stylish and practical. SM’s Fashion departments for men, women, and kids offer socks, undergarments, shorts, and shirts that are both comfy and budget-friendly.

Bags of Style

From trolley bags for the younger ones to stylish backpacks for teens, you’ll find bags of all kinds in SM’s Bags and Travel section. And if mall-hopping isn’t your thing, SM’s Personal Shopper service lets you shop from home and have everything delivered to your doorstep. Convenience? Check.

Baon Goals

Don’t forget the baon! Keep snacks fresh and drinks cool with insulated lunch bags and tumblers from SM Home or Surplus in SM Center Pulilan. Fill them up with favorite treats from the Snacks department and you’re ready for recess time.

All the Extras

Umbrellas, hair ties, watches, belts—you name it, SM Accessories has it. These little extras often get forgotten but make a big difference in everyday school life.

Back-to-school doesn’t have to be stressful. At SM, it becomes a bonding experience—where parents and kids can shop, prep, and even snack together in one convenient, family-friendly place.
