[quote=Anonymous]Every teacher will tell the kids on the first day of class. I know, they should tell them before, but that's not how it works. My oldest had a huge binder with tabs where he put his things, but he never purged and at the end of the year it was just too much. I prefer my second's organization, where she has a lightweight notebook for some classes like math and science, and several folders for stray papers, that she regularly cleans out. So you need that stuff on hand, and then your kid will see what each teacher wants and what he prefers.

Oh, and I highly recommend a paper planner. My oldest got used to using one, and still uses one in college. My second has so far refused, and has missed some assignments because she forgot to write them down somewhere. Usually kids can rely on every teacher adding assignments and due dates in their portal, but sometimes the info is wrong, or changes at the last minute, and she got burned a few times. It's really helpful to kids to visualize their week in planner form, so they can spread out their homework, add their extra-curricular activities, chores or anything else they need to do.
