How to Organize Your School Locker
If you're one of the lucky students whose school has not outlawed
lockers (and who doesn't have to carry around a day's worth of books
in an overstuffed backpack), then check out these tips for making your
locker your home away from homeroom.

1
Install a shelf in your locker to double the horizontal storage space. You can find a variety of locker shelves and accessories online at stores such as Lockermate.com, StacksAndStacks.com and PotteryBarnTeen.com.
-
2
Stand your books upright (not stacked) with their spines out to see the titles and grab the book you need quickly.
-
3
Use a notebook or binder (or section) for each class. Color-code these binders with notebooks and book covers so that everything related to a particular class is the same color.
-
4
Save space and keep everything accessible by adding mirrors, pencil cups, clocks and picture frames. Many have magnetic attachments.
-
5
Carry your valuables--cash, laptop computers, digital cameras or MP3 players--with you; don't put them in your school locker. Better yet, leave them at home.

Tips & Warnings
Before you shop for a school backpack, measure the width of your locker. It's extra handy to get a backpack or rolling bag that fits right into your locker--even when crammed with books.
Empty your trash and recycling, and remove unneeded items at least once a week. Make sure you're not creating science experiments out of banana peels and sweaty gym clothes in the locker's nether regions.
