Here are some school organization tips:
Use a binder. Its that simple. If you get one, figure out how to use it, and keep using it, your life will be so much easier at school! The trick is finding out how to use it.
Use #1. Homework. Keep all homework, whether it's done or not, in a seperate folder inside your binder. If you use notebooks, try to get the same color/pattern in the notebooks and the folders. Use one pocket in each folder for ungraded homework. Also keep permission slips and other things that need to be signed in that pocket. Use the other one for graded homework and other things that need to go home and stay home.
Use #2. Pencils and paper. Buy a 3-hole-punched pencil pouch. Keep it in the front of your binder. Nothing should be in the rings before it. Keep a stock of hole-punched paper somewhere in your binder. I usually put mine in front of my class folders, which are the last thing in the rings.
Any extra hole punched handouts or papers you need to keep with you should go directly after the class folder they relate to. If it doesn't relate to any particular subject, you have two choices: put in in the rings under the pencil pouch, or put it in the pocket at the front/back of the binder. If you're going to put it in a pocket, you should probably put it in the front because the ones you put in the back pocket tend to be forgotten about.
Unhole-punched papers should either go inside the take-home side of the folder whose subject it relates to or be put in a pocket, NOT shoved in your bookbag to get ripped up.
Hope this helped! An remember: Whatever you do, don't shove papers into your bookbag and forget about them!
