To get organized in middle school, make sure your backpack has enough room for all your books, binders, and other school supplies. Make sure you have a separate folder or binder for each of your classes, which will make it easier for you to organize the handouts you are given in class. Additionally, get a pencil case or a pencil pouch to organize all your loose items so they aren’t floating around at the bottom of your backpack. To be an organized student, get a planner and commit to writing everything down in it. When your teacher gives you homework, announces there’s a test, or mentions an activity, add it to a due date in your planner so you can keep track of all your responsibilities. Then, cross things off your planner as you do them, so you know what you still have left to do. For more tips, like how to organize your locker in middle school, keep reading!
