Have phone numbers written down in this kit, especially those of parents, best friends, and emergency contacts. Also keep quarters, if you don't have a cell phone or just in emergencies.
-
Keep an extra notebook. It helps when you are going to class and need to write things down. It is also useful to keep a binder in case your papers fall apart. Teachers appreciate things more when all the papers are together!
-
Keep a small container of snacks. When you are going to class, you can get hungry. You can pack anything small except gum, but nothing that will go bad and stink up your locker! Good snacks are:
- Almonds
- Trail Mix
- Rockets (Out of the wrapper)
- Raisins
- Nuts
-
Add extra school supplies. Have a few extra supplies like erasers, tape, sharpeners, and lined paper.
-
Have an extra change of clothes! In winter your socks may get wet and uncomfortable, and in art class, your shirt may become a disaster. Make sure to have extra pants and underwear if a little surprise period pops up when you're not prepared! Something to change into may come in really handy!
