Organization Is Key For School Success
October 9, 2012
High school is one of the most important times of a young person’s life. The lessons that are made and learned during the high school years are some of the most important and life-trajectory setting that will occur in his or her life. Staying organized through high school is a very important routine for adolescents, as it gets them in a good habit for when they are off on their own in college.
One way to keep your student organized in high school is to provide ample storage and organization accessories for their locker, desk or backpack. There are a wide variety of locker organizers that makes staying organized a breeze.
There are a variety of organizational tools for lockers, from shelves that divide up the locker space and increase the efficiency, to magnetic baskets that keep pens and pencils close-by at all times, and even a memo pad that allows your high school child to have a written schedule right at his or her locker.
Using a locker shelf is a must for anyone in middle school or high school that needs to improve their storage space. Whether you have a large locker or a smaller locker, adding a locker shelf is a great way to increase the efficiency of the locker. These shelves have a folding leg that makes it easy to install and remove at the end of the year. Best of all, they can be re-used over and over again for the length of your child’s high school career.
Most lockers are made from metal, so a great way to add organization is to use a magnetic basket or bin for pens, pencils and other classroom essentials that always end up getting lost. Nothing is worse for a student to arrive at school and realize they did not bring a pen or pencil to take notes. Adding a magnetic basket to their locker makes it easy for your student to store writing utensils and grab one before class starts, so they will always be able to take notes!
Finally, if your child is involved in after school activities or just has a complicated class schedule, adding a magnetic memo center is the perfect way for your ensure he or she knows where to go, every day! He or she can use a memo pad to write down their weekly schedule and avoid any confusion. Some memo pads have white-board or chalk-board surfaces so you can write down notes as well. Others, like the memo board below, is not magnetic, however, it has a cool pattern to add style to any space.
Ensure your child puts his or her best foot forward in the high school years, these days every year counts and every class counts. Being prepared is the best way to ensure a bright future for your young adult!
