Yes, all hands on deck is what we need to get ready for the new school year. Too many parties everywhere, holidays, too much time hanging around doing nothing... it is time to slow down and put our brains in gear!
The English We Speak: All hands on deck (BBC Learning English)
There are so many things we can start doing before going back to our 'beloved' routines, but remember that our brain also has a rest when routines mark our pace in life.

So, let's not play with fire if we don't want to be under fire when school begins. We should be on fire by September and we should not add fuel to the fire if we want to get on well with Albert. Here you've been presented with 4 expressions connected with fire. You can check the meaning of each of them just below in the English in a Minute section.
