[quote=Anonymous]First - this scenario is actually part of the learning process.  Learning how to manage homework is the subject.  It is not simple.

Second - talk to your kid about their actual school day.  What do they do when they first arrive?  Do they immediately go to their locker?  Where is their locker in relation to their first couple of classes?  Do the think it better to go directly to class?  Do they have gym where they dump stuff in a different locker?   Walk through the actual process.

I would suggest coming in after school (make an appointment so the school knows what’s up.) and physically do the walks between classes and lockers.

What we ultimately found is that our kids often did not have time to get from point A to point B with a locker stop in between.  Remember Halls would be crowded and socializing is going on too.

One big help was to set up their backpack dividing the day.  And, making sure they arrived at the building with enough time to get to their locker and then their first class.   They would get to school and go to their locker.  They would dump off all their stuff for after lunch classes.  They would keep all the stuff for all their morning classes.  No going to and from locker between classes.  Homework was organized by class with before lunch and after lunch.

Usually the kids would go directly to lunch after the last class so they kept their lunch with the morning stuff.  The issue was they had to go back to their locker after lunch so they got their afternoon stuff.   You could set a vibrate alarm on their phone for the time with say 7 minutes before the class after lunch started.
