[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you.  Should I get him a smartwatch(suggestion?)  to tell time and set tons of alarms to remind him to go to different classes? He has ADHD. He is forgetful, and I probably will ask him to carry his backpack (with all he needs inside) everywhere. Do they have a homeroom? Or else he may have to carry backpack/water bottle everywhere to lunch, gym or restroom if there's no locker or homeroom? [/quote]

Most middle schools will not allow a backpack to be carried throughout the day. Backpacks stay in the locker and kids carry binders for the most part. Big zippable folders that hold many subjects.

The bell rings at the beginning and end of each class to let kids know when to move to the next one.

Hardest part for our kid with executive functioning was understanding how to turn everything in with so many different teachers with different styles and also remembering to turn the assignments in.

Check out the special needs board on DCUM and post. People will have advice there as well.

6th grade was a tough transition, but the administration is helping all 6th graders get settled in to a new routine. But yes, try to get a 504 or IEP in place for extra support. [/quote]

Second hardest thing is dealing with the horrible rule about no backpacks. The binder they have will “explode” 20 times a week and cause massive disruptions [/quote]
