Lockers No bags are to be brought to class,

therefore choose a backpack without an internal frame

Practice opening a combination lock this summer, both for PE and hall lockers – Video can be found HERE.

Everything, at some point in the day, goes in their hall locker, therefore it needs to fit!

Combinations must be kept confidential and students do sign a locker agreement.

Some Ideas! Each student will have their own

organization that works best for them It may take a few trial and errors to figure

out which organization system works best for your student

Supply lists will be out in the summer. Students do not need to bring everything on the first day – in fact, paper, pencil, and a folder may be sufficient that first day

Some supply ideas These pockets are great because they

are clear and fit everything you need for one class – book, journal, pencil, etc. Found at Staples.

Some Supply Ideas If you choose binders, the large, fabric

ones DO NOT fit in the lockers. Smaller, flexible ones work best.

Some Supply Ideas And sometimes, good old fashioned

peachies or paper folders are best for either all classes, or as a place to keep all homework.

Maywood Website

Staff DirectoryThe staff directory is where you will find all teacher websites. They include, homework, class, work, attachments.

Bookmark your student’s teachers pages to make it that much easier!

Family Access Grades Test Scores Use it after the fact to ensure work was

turned in/graded

Your Homework Role Ebb and flow – going from one teacher

to 6 can be difficult. They will need your help even though they may not want it at first!

Once they’ve figured it out, you can pull back.

It will be a back and forth for the rest of middle school, and possibly even high school.
