If you don’t need a certain book or binder you can leave it at home or take it to school and store it in your locker. You may want to pack the book or binders in the order that you will need them for the day. Make sure you don’t forget any.

You may also need a helmet if you ride a bike, skateboard, or scooter to school. Though an instrument isn’t likely to fit in your school bag, set the case near your bag so you don’t forget it!

Follow all rules regarding electronics for your school; keep them off or on silent and in your bag or locker during classes. Remember that it’s not a good idea to take large amounts of cash to school. You may, however, need a small amount of money for lunch as well as your ID, particularly if you have a driver’s license or permit.
