locker accessories

[Anonymous]

Any locker gear your child particularly liked/found helpful?

My girlfriend told me get the magnet cups to hold pencils, etc. to stick to the inside of the locker.

NP with a new question: are locker accessories more for MS or HS? Or both?

My daughter has a crate to add a shelf in her locker. A holder for dry erase markers and dry erase board. She has some magnets that she puts pictures up of friends throughout the year. She was in 8th moving to 9th.

I think locker accessories are for whenever you're living out of your locker rather than out of a desk. For DD this started in sixth grade. She's got some sort of little cup thing for pens and a mirror.

Agree. My elem. school child has a locker and the chandelier, rug, and mirror are the must haves. For a 6 yr old I understand the appeal. For a 12 yr old, it just seems so young.

+2 on the locker shelves

The magnet cups didn't work well for my DD -- she preferred clear zippered pencil pouches to separate out pens, markers, pencils, etc.

+2 on the magnets to hold pictures, lists, etc. She really liked the magnetic bulldog clips.

DD will start 9th grade in September.

The hanging locker shelves are the popular thing with my kids. Also assorted magnets. A mini dry erase board/magnet.

2 years ago, scented candles were popular (unlit, just to give the locker a sort of scent) but they're apparently no longer in.

No mirror. There is nothing dorkier than checking yourself out in the middle of the hallway.

My kids have a shelf and that's about it. The locker is purely a place to stash a coat and hold their lunch. They blow by during the school day and exchange books if they're lucky.

DD uses her mirror to check there's no food in her teeth after lunch. She has time to get to her locker but not to get to the bathroom.

I'm a HS teacher. My the time they reach HS barely any students use their locker.

Small Mirror in the back of the locker so no one sees it but your kid
