If you're a middle school student, you know how easy it is to lose track of a handout or homework assignment. Follow these instructions to organize them by class, so you never have to flip through dozens of unsorted papers again. If you can fit all your papers into one or two binders, it will be harder to forget a notebook.

Organizing a Binder

Keep the "at home" binder or folders in an obvious place where they won't get lost in clutter, such as on a bookshelf in your room.

Step 3 See if you can fit the remaining papers into one binder.

Try using one binder for classes before lunch, and one binder for classes after lunch. If you have a locker at your school, you only need to carry one of these around at a time, but remember to pick up both before you leave for the day.
If your school has Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes and Tuesday-Thursday classes, separate your papers into two binders so you only need to take one binder to school each day. Remember to put the right binder in your backpack the night before each school day.

Step 4 Insert a colored divider into your binder for each class.

For almost any class, you could use three white paper dividers labeled "Handouts," "Homework," and "Notes."
If a teacher gives you tests on specific topics, organize your class material by those topics to make studying easier. For instance, label your English class dividers "Reading Assignments" and "Vocabulary."

Add graph paper for your math or science classes if your teacher requests it.

Staying Organized

Step 1 Organize your binder each night before class.

Some people remember to do this more often if they organize their binder right after they get home. Waiting too long can make you unwilling to return to "school mode."

Each time you are given a new assignment, write it down in your planner in the space for today' date. Write the due date next to the name of the assignment.
Each evening after school, look at your planner's entry for yesterday's date. Cross out any assignments you've completed, then re-write the names of all uncompleted assignments in today's date.
Instead of a paper calendar or agenda book, you can use an application, such as Google Calendar. Choose whatever works better for you.

Step 3 Keep supplies left at home in a special place.

About This Article

To organize your middle school binder, start by removing old papers that you don't really need anymore, like graded homework or old assignment instructions. Then, divide the rest of your papers up by class and insert colored dividers between each stack so it's easy to keep track. You can also insert a 3-hole folder for each section so you can easily slide homework assignments in and out of your binder. If you don't have a separate notebook, put a stack of lined paper in each section for taking notes in class. To learn how to keep your middle school binder organized, scroll down!

Free Printable Student Binder

Student binder printables can help students keep all of their important school and class information organized, setting them up for success from the moment they head back to school!

The student binder printables are baaaaaaccccckkkk! 🙂 Over the past few months, one of the most common questions I have received is, “When are you going to update the student binder?!” Well, I’m thrilled to say that it is here! This year’s binder still features two color scheme options and many, many printable pages that will help you stay organized throughout the school year!

(And even if you’re not a student, there are still some of these printables that you could use too, so don’t run off just yet! 😉

[You can see all 300+ pages of free printables that we offer on the blog in our Free Printable Library !]

Student Binder Supplies

This post contains affiliate links. For more information, see my disclosures here .

Before we jump into the binder tour, here are a few of the items you’ll need to put together your student binder:

A 3-Ring Binder (I like this one and this one .)
Colorful Tab Dividers (I like these ones with pockets and these ones without .)
White Tab Dividers
3 Ring Binder 3 Hole Punch (I have this one .)
I like to use a label maker + clear tape to label my divider tabs.
Printer- I have this kind . I prefer to print my binder printables at home, but of course you could always send them off to your local print shop or office supply store to be printed as well.

Free Printable Student Binder Pages

A pretty binder cover.

The first thing that any binder needs to have is a pretty cover, and this binder is no exception! I made it bright and colorful with plenty of room for the owner’s name and/or contact information. I printed my cover out on white card stock just to make it a little sturdier.

Class Schedule

Next, I was sure to include a class schedule. You can keep track of what class is happening when, where, and with whom with this simple printable!

Student Binder: Planning

I then divided the binder into a few sections to keep everything neat and organized. The first section is planning, of course!

Goal Setting Sheet

You know I never create a binder without including a goals page! I am kind of obsessive about goals because I really think that they work!

Whether you’re a student or not, it never hurts to write out a few of the things you’d like to accomplish over the next year. I’ve also left room to write out some action steps you can take to get yourself closer to your goals.

Monthly Calendars- Dated and Undated

Everyone– students and otherwise– can always use a monthly calendar. This one includes July 2023-December 2024 for over a full year of pretty planning! And if you’re thinking even further ahead than that, I’ve included undated calendar pages so that you can create a calendar for any year you want!

Two-Page Weekly Planner

Another printable that everyone could use is this two-page weekly planner. Each day is broken down by hour to make it easy to use time blocking or just keep a close eye on your schedule. There is even room at the bottom to set some goals for the week and make notes.

Daily Planning Printable with Time Blocking

If you want to go even more in-depth, you can use the daily planning printable, which has even more room to schedule your time, make note of people you need to contact, and keep track of miscellaneous items in the notes section.

Daily Routines Printable

The final printable in the “planning” section is a daily routines printable. Sometimes it’s helpful to clarify which items need to happen each morning (like packing a lunch or filling your backpack), afternoon (like finishing homework or doing chores), and evening (like picking out clothes for the next day or planning the next day’s schedule). This little printable can help you do all of those things!

Everyone probably won’t need all of these different printables for planning their time, but I wanted to make sure I provided a bunch of different options so each person could choose the printable or printables that would work best for them!

Student Binder: Tracking

There are sooooooo many details to keep track of when you’re in school, and the next section of the binder is devoted to just that.

Assignment Schedule + Exam Schedule

I know I was always overwhelmed on the first day of class when I would get my syllabus from each teacher and immediately be bombarded by assignments and test dates. The next two printables– an assignment schedule and an exam schedule– will help organize those things so you never miss a deadline.

Reading Log Printable

If there is one thing I’m thanking myself for as an adult, it is that I was an avid reader from an early age. I know I’m a former English teacher, so this is expected from me, but reading is so, so, so important! This reading log makes it easy to keep track of your minutes/pages read.

Student Binder: Subject Sections

I divided up the next section of the binder into the different subject areas and included the same few printables in each subject tab.

Grade Tracking Printable

First, I included a grade tracker. It’s never fun to get to the end of the quarter or semester and be surprised by your grade, so this printable will help you keep track of all grades along the way so you know exactly what to expect.

There is a column to list each grade, and then one to keep a running total on the far right. Print one off for each class and get tracking!

Next I added a simple-but-pretty notes page so you can keep all of your class notes nice and organized. I would print out a bunch of these at a time to have them handy any time I need to take notes in class, make a list, or just get some thoughts down on paper!

Project Planning Printable

My very last printable in each subject section is a project planner. All of those school projects have so many little details, and this printable is the perfect place to keep track of them all! (Plus it’s cute, which always helps! 😉 )

A Second Color Scheme for the Student Binder!

In past years I had several requests from moms of boys for binder printables that weren’t quite so pink! As a fellow boy mom myself, I completely understood the need for more options for boys, so I created a second color scheme option that would work for boys or for girls who just prefer blue to pink.

Free Printable Student Binder: Frequently Asked Questions

I typically update this post every July with calendar printables for dated the upcoming school year. There are also undated calendar printables included with both color schemes, so if you’re thinking ahead to future years, those can help!

These printables are designed to be printed on standard letter-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″).

We sure do! If you’re looking for vertical calendar printables and/or calendars with a Sunday start, you can snag both in this calendar printable post .

You can get both full sets of binder printables sent straight to your inbox via the button below!

The student binder printables are simple, but when used consistently, they can truly help make your school year (and your life!) so much easier!

I’m not a student, but a teacher and I love your printable. Especially the fact that it is simple and the calendar starts with Monday <3 (I'm from Europe, I'm used to starting with Mon)

Thank you, Noemi! I never know which day to start them! Monday seemed to make sense for this one since it is geared toward the school week. 🙂 Hope you’re having a wonderful day!

I wish I had had these back when I was in school, they are stunning!

Thanks for the printables! I went back to school two years ago to finish my degree, and my 4yo is starting preschool this year. This planner is perfect for organizing my busy class schedule, assignments, and study topics, as well as my family’s schedule and my toddler’s preschool commitments.

I am so happy to have found you. After NOT being a pre-school teacher for the past 15 years, i find myself back in the swing. I have very dated pages and these are so lovely and fresh . I know the parents and the students will enjoy them immensely. Thank you so much for sharing.

Abby, these printable are beautiful! Thank you SO much for sharing them for FREE! My daughter (5th Grader) and I are excited to use them to help keep track of all of her school work! They will also be a wonderful way to manage my volunteer work… and my Mommy work! Again thank you, Abby!

These are adorable! Thank you so much~

I was just wondering why with the my weekly planner the numbers on it start at 5? go to 12 then repeat from 1 to 12 again.. Im not sure I get why?

Hi, Sally! Those are hours of the day so that you can time block your tasks if you choose. 🙂 I hope this helps!

Oh I see, I am just used to using the 24 hour clock… 🙂

Hello! I am a current 7th grader and i have been looking EVERYWHERE for organizational supplies for a school binder I was working on. Thank you so much for these printables!

Hi, Halie! I will probably make a new Student Binder for next school year. Right now I have a full 2016 planner available at https://justagirlandherblog.com/planner . I hope this helps! Have a wonderful week!

As an online college student, it can be quite difficult at times to stay organized and on track. I ended up downloading the Assignment Schedule, Exam Schedule, and the Grade Tracker. I wish I would’ve seen these at the beginning of my Fall semester but now I have them all ready for the start of Spring semester. Thank you!!

So glad the printables are helpful! Best of luck in the upcoming semester!

What a HUGE help! Awesome design, awesome ideas! Thank you so Much!

I loved your planner! It is amazing! Thank you for sharing it! Pamela Buenos Aires, Argentina

I absolutely love this planner. Is so perfect for students, and ive found so many student planner but none like this one. Sadly I found it a little bit late I’ll not be able to take as much advantage of it as I would have liked. Really hope yo make one for the 2016-2017 school year. If you do I’ll be one of the first ones of getting it! So excited!

Hi Paola! The updated student planner will be available this summer! So glad it’s been helpful to you! ~Abby =)

I’m a college student and I’ve been looking for some studying printables and cannot seem to find any. Need something to organize my notes a little better and I love how you layout your printables. Is this something you’d consider making? PLEASE let me know! Thank you!

Hi Catherine! I’ll add it to my printables suggestion list! Thanks! ~Abby =)

I loved it! I’ve been looking for a while and this one is so complete. THank you! I wonder if your next planner is going to have a similar style? The school year in Argentina starts around March and ends around November (and exams are usually around December/January/February), so technically I can only use half of the planner :'(. And of course… I just found it haha. Nonetheless, I’m going to use it! Thanks!

Hi Carolina! It will be updated this summer and yes the style will probably be similar! Glad you like it! ~Abby =)

I love the printable student binder! Any chance of an update that includes the rest of 2016?or if it already exists could someone please show me where 🙂 🙂

Hi Amanda! The student binder will be updated this summer at some point! I’m glad you’re enjoying it! ~Abby =)

I love your printable student binder 🙂 Awesome! <3 -Sandra

This binder is so cool! One of my friends is a diverse learner and we are try ing to help her. This binder is exactly what we need!!

I love these! Are you going to create a new calendar for the upcoming months?

Hi Mila! The student calendar will be updated in the summer for the next school year. If you’re looking for a printable 2016 calendar, you can find it here: https://justagirlandherblog.com/free-printable-2016-calendar/ . Thanks and have a great day! ~Abby =)

Hi! I will be going to college in the Fall of 2016, will you be making a new set of printables with the updated calendar dates? Thanks! I love this

Yes! You can expect to see an updated set sometime this summer! Hope you’re having a great week, Cassie!

Hey! I really loved your student binder printables from this year 😀 I know it’s kind of early but could you make the calendars and stuff with dates for next year? It’s my senior year next year and I just want to get a head start on organization. Anyway, thanks for making so many awesome binder print outs, I find them very helpful! Thanks, Nicole 🙂

Hi, Nicole! The student binder will be updated this summer. Glad you enjoy them! Have a great week!

I was just looking through these and think they’re adorable!! I wish I saw them last year, now I can’t get the calendar but all the other things are SOO adorable!!

Thanks, Natilee! The student binder will be updated this summer so, maybe you’ll be able to use it next year. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! All these printables are adorable! I want to make this planner for my daughter’s high school graduation… Are you going to be updating the calendar for the upcoming school year? Also, is there any way to edit them for her specific needs?

Thanks for making these! ?

Hi, Emily! The student binder will be updated this summer! It is not editable at this point. Thanks and have a great week!

Hi Abby! I absolutely love your student binder printables! They are so cute! I was wondering when would you have an updated printable of the student binder calendar? You currently have August 2015 – July 2016. Wanted one through July 2017 is possible. Thanks a million!

Hi, India! The student binder will be updated this summer! So glad you are enjoying it!

I love your student binder, however I’m not a student I’m a high school teacher, I would love a grade sheet for me to keep track of student grades on paper to match my student binder (which I have made my teacher binder)

Thanks for the suggestion, Tiffani! We’ll keep that in mind when updating the binder this summer. Have a great week!

Thank you for sharing this and for making them free. I am hoping to be better organized this summer and fall semester.

I assume this are geared towards having them all in one binder rather then in the binders for each college class?

You can use them however they will be the most helpful for your, Rachael! 🙂

Do you have the 2016-2017 calendar? If not, can you tell me when it will be available?

The planner will be updated this summer!

hi i am in love with your blog and thanks for the binder can i get the calender of 2017 to 2018 and 2018 to 2019

Those are not available yet. We update the student binder each summer. Thanks!

Hi Abby! I noticed that the binders you recommended were 1″ but I was wondering if that is the size binder you recommend or would a larger one would work better? Thank you!

Hi, Shannon! I use a one inch binder, but you can use whatever size works best for you. Happy organizing!

Hi I really like this student binder! I was wondering when you will post the updated version of it for this coming Year 2016-2017.

Hi, Chanelle. There was actually an update in the post. You can find it here: https://justagirlandherblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2017-Monthly-Calendar.pdf . Thanks!

I’m a Senior in High School this year and I’m starting to look around for college ideas. Came across this binder and it is probably the greatest idea I’ve seen! Saving this for when I start college!

So glad you like it, Kalysta!

This is so pretty…I almost wish I was a student so that I could use it myself! 🙂

This binder is perfect for my daughter who is just about to start high school! She really likes the layout and I love the useful pages. Thank you!

When will all 2017 binder items be available?

Hi, Donna! It has been updated and can be found here: https://justagirlandherblog.com/printable-student-binder/ . Scroll down and you will see the 2017 calendar.

First of all, I wanted to thank you for creating something as beautiful as an Erin Condren LifeBook for students, for free. I love it! Secondly, I wanted to ask why the weekly plan pages start with the number 5 and go to 12, then start over at 1? I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of why but can’t figure it out! Thanks!

Hi, Katherine! Those numbers are for time blocking. So you can schedule in what you plan on doing at 5 am to noon, and then it starts again for 1 pm. I hope this helps! Have a great day!

I found your blog not too long ago while looking for some organization tips and subscribed right away. I was so excited to see the information about the student binder in my email today. My oldest daughter and I both have ADHD and organization/follow through is the area we struggle with the most. She will be starting 7th grade next month and we can’t wait to see how well this works for her. Unfortunately our attempts to keep her organized and prepared for school last year were not successful. Thank you!!

I used this last year and I love it. Your printables inspire me to get stuff done

I LOVE this! I am a mom of 2 little ones, I work from home on the weekends, I’m starting a blog (still preparing for launch), and I’m going back to school for my master’s degree next semester. So to say the least I am BUSY! The idea of going back to school has intimidated and overwhelmed me. But this planner makes me feel so much better! I can definitely use this to help organize the many components on my plate. So thank you!

Love all your printables, Abby! You can tell you put a ton of work into creating this!

thank you abby for the printable, i think this will help my 3rd semester a lot. But, can i print it on A6 planner? I have A6 binder. Usually i printed it on my B5 paper, but i would like to make my B5 binder to be college binder. could it be possible for to print it on A6 paper? Thank you 🙂

Hi, Yasyfin! Sadly these printables are just in the standard 8.5″ x 11″ size. I would guess you could find a student binder in the A6 size on Etsy. Have a great semester!

These are great! Starting off as president or another officer for many clubs this year, this will help me keep track of everything while still saving me money, thanks for this!

So glad it’s helpful for you, Angelyn!

Hi, I love this binder!! I’m a student and can not wait to use this once school starts! I want to print this in a printing place like FedEx of something but I’m not sure what kind of paper to use. i was wondering if you could recomend which one would be best(30% recycled, 100% recycled, lazer 24 lbs, lazer 60 lbs, lazer, or gloss??) Thanks

Hi, Tali! The paper I usually use to print at home is 20#, 92 brightness, so it seems like the 24# would be closest to that. I hope this helps! Have a great day!

I’m entering my Freshman year, and this is just what I was looking for! These are so cute, and my style, too! And I’m even more happy about how they are free! Thank you soo much!

Thank you so so so much for doing this! It will be such a huge help this school year. Also, I absolutely fell in love with your fonts and was wondering what fonts you used for this? Thanks!

Oh my gosh, I love love love all of your organization tips and printables! They are so cute! You have inspired me to put my life in order:) Thank you so much for making and posting these. They will be so very helpful this school year. Just wondering- what fonts did you use for the school binder printables? Thanks again, Harmony

These are awesome! Do you use premade templates? Or come up with your own designs? Your printables are always adorable

Thank you so much, Kimberly! I come up with my own designs! Then sometimes I’ll do different versions of the designs that I really like. I hope this helps! Have a great day!

These printables are truly amazing! I will be a junior this year and these will definitely come in handy. Thanks!

These are absolutely awesome and adorable! I’m such a procrastinator and so unorganized and I think these will definitely help change that this semester and all the ones to come!! Thanks!

So glad you like them, Morgan!

Hi Abby, I have been trying to print the binder stuff and it let me print the calendar but not the rest of it. Can you help me? I just love this, and would really like it for 4 of my grandchildren. Sincerely, Christine

Hi Chistine! Can you email us at [email protected] and give us more details about the trouble you’re having? We will try to help out and we check email multiple times a day so it will be much faster to get through to us. Thanks!

Hi Abby, You student binder is just what we needed this year! Happy to be getting us all organized in our homeschool and have it all look fabulous. I’m actually at a planning weekend and just noticed the 2017 calendar runs Monday to Sunday rather than Sunday through Saturday. Funny I didn’t notice that in the picture you posted. Thanks for getting us off to a great start for 2016/17!

I love your files, but after I download the pdf it will not print. other files from other sites do. uh.

If you download the file to your desktop and open it with the default PDF viewer on your computer, you shouldn’t have any trouble printing from there. Please email [email protected] if you are still having trouble. Thanks!

How do you create your own printables? I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find a free and easy way to create my own schedule. I need to be able to edit it every once in a while for school. Please help!

Hi, Kathryn! Are you a subscriber of Just a Girl and her Blog? If so, you can login to the printables database and there is a free PDF on how to create your own printables. If you’re not a subscriber, you can gain access here: https://justagirlandherblog.com/get-organized/ . Have a great day!

Abby, Thank you SO MUCH for all of the time and effort that you’ve put into creating these pages and offering them for free. I am ever so Grateful. I am starting to HOMESCHOOL for the first time this year and I believe these printables will aid me with this endeavor.

Yay! So glad they will be helpful for you, Kim! Love to hear that! Have a great weekend!

I love this! Would you mind if I use a link to this post and a picture from it for a “back to school” round up post I’m working on?

That would be great. Thanks for checking, Charlene!

Hi Abby! I loved this!!!!! Is there an option to print this 5.5 × 8.5? The so much, Martina (from Argentina)

Hi, Martina! The student binder is only available in full size at this time. We do have a planner that is available in 5.5 by 8.5 that you can find here: https://justagirlandherblog.com/organize . Thanks and have a great evening!

Hi Abby! Let me start off with “I LOVE YOUR BLOG” it is amazing. I just stumbled upon your blog by accident, but I found it very intriguing and I cannot get enough of it. I just want to say I love your student planner. I have been looking for one that will fit my busy schedule for college. Again thanks and you are doing a wonderful job!!

You are too sweet! Thanks so much, Ramona! I’m so glad it will be helpful for you! Have a great school year!

I used the Exam and Project printouts back in Spring semester and it was super helpful! I ended up printing out enough for each of my classes and sticking them in sheet protectors at the front of each tab for each of my classes. I keep everything logged in my actual planner, but being able to look at what I’ll be doing for the entire semester was great! My classes for Fall start this coming Monday so I’m in organization/prep mod and I immediately came back to your site to get some more printables! I plan to do a short vlog on how I organize for school and I’ll most definitely be living your link on said vlog! Thank you again!

Awesome! So glad they’ve been helpful to you, Taylor! Have a great school year and definitely come back with a link to your vlog! I’d love to see it!

Hi! I adore these printables but just wanted to mention there is a error on the weekly plan. The numbered lines begin at 5.

Hi, Emile! The numbered lines are intended to help you plan out your day hour by hour. Since most people don’t generally wake up before 5 am, I started with 5 on purpose. So sorry for the confusion. Have a great day!

I like your creative binder so much =)) Hope there’ll be a 2017-2018 one too !!! By the way , could you tell me the font of the letters in the binder ? Love it !

Hi Chichay! So glad you like the binder! This one can actually be used any year as most pages aren’t dated and we have included an undated calendar as well as the 2016-2017 calendar! The print font is Futura. SignPainter is the cursive one. Have a great weekend!

Thanks so much , Abby =)) Have a great weekend , too ^^

Hi Abbey ?. I really L.O.V.E the student binder planner. It is amazing. Can you please tell me how to edit the monthly pages in word ? As, our school week starts from Sunday not Monday . If possible i’d like to know . Thnx ? 😉 Summer

Hi, Summer! The binder is meant to be printed out and written on. It is not editable in Word. Sorry!

I LOVE THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!

So glad you like them, Sydney! Have a great week!

Hi IM FROM SOUTH AFRICA.AND I LOVE THE FACT I CAN JUST PRESS DOWNLOAD AND GET THE PRINT QUICKLY.

So glad it was helpful for you, Cindy!

I was wondering why the weekly plan starts out with a 5? Love these those, they are super cute

Hi, Karen! We just assume that most people aren’t up before 5am so that is why the day starts at 5! 🙂

Oh my goodness these are everything I wanted and needed and more!! I can’t get over how pretty they are, how perfect they are for my school life, and how dang FREE they are!! ? Thanks so much for making these!! I will definitely use them!!

Aw, yay! So glad they will be helpful for you, Megan! Have a great school year!

This is really great! My BFF is a diverse learner and all of my friends and I have been looking for ways to help her. This will work perfectly

So glad it will be helpful! Have a great evening!

I am wondering how to print

Hi, Indya! You can download each page of the student binder individually by clicking the link below each photo, or download the entire binder in one document using the link at the end of the post. Then you just print like you would a normal document. I hope this helps!

Wow! This is exactly what I have been looking for!!!! 2017 is going to be an insane year for our family, this is perfect and really stylist! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad it’s helpful, Emma! Merry Christmas!

Can you make a organizational sheet for kids sports?

Ooh that’s a good idea! I’ll add it to my list. Can you tell me a little bit more of what you had in mind? Like keeping track of their game and practice schedules? Or milestones they’re trying to hit in their sport? Or what? Hope you’re having a great day Brandi!

Thanks so much! Have a great weekend!

hi abby, thank you so much for these they are so cute and helpful!! I was wondering when the 2017 one was coming out?? I am from Australia and we start school in a few weeks

Hi, Isshell! If you scroll to the bottom of the post, you can download the entire binder which has been updated for 2017. Thanks!

Hey they look amazing but i dont know how to print them its not working it really sad they are really cute though. i believe they will work very well its sad i cant though

Hi, Maddie! Sorry you’re having trouble. Are you getting an error message? You should be able to download the file and open them in whatever program you use to view PDF’s on your computer and print from there!

I just started my first semester of Nursing school and this printable are great. Thanks! I absolutely love it!!!

Yay! So glad they’ll be helpful for you! Good luck with your first semester!

I love this binder, it has helped me to be organized in college this semester.

Yay! So glad it’s been helpful for you, Stephanie! <3

Hey are these for half size planners (5.5 X 8.5 inches?)

The Student Binder is full size. We have half size planners here: https://justagirlandherblog.com/organize

Hi Abby, I am a student in high school and one of my goals is making sure that my life is organized. I could not find anything through other websites. But when I searched this morning and looked up life organization binder ideas and saw your blog. When I went into your website it was so simple and so easy to use. I have printed out the things and now going to start but it’s nice that you have them as free printable. I am on spring break right now and trying to organize my life because that was part of my new years revolution but never have been able to and could not find the type I want. So this has been one of the best blogs or organizing websites I have found. Thank you and I love your stuff.

Hi!! What font did you use on the calendar printable?

Hi, Melanie! The script font is called SignPainter and the other one is Futura. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!

hey , I love your student planner and I was wondering if you are going to make one for 2017 – 2018.

Hi! Glad you love it! Most of the binder has no dates so it will work for every year but we do update the yearly calendar each year and update that post. There is also a blank yearly calendar included. Thanks!

hi I have another question what type of paper did you use for the planners?

I just use standard copy paper for mine. You can find more info about what I like to use here: https://justagirlandherblog.com/simplify-home-binder-tour/

would cardstock work?

Sure! You can print on any kind of paper you would like!

Just wanted to thank you for these printables. I want to surprise my daughter who will be a freshman in August with a new planner she can personalize and this is just the thing. It’s not so basic like the school planners and she can do so much with it. Thanks!

Yay! So glad they are helpful, Rosa! Congratulations to your daughter!

Hi Abbey, I think your printables are really pretty and practical too. I seem to recall you had some YouTube tutorials on how to create our own using Word, but I cannot locate this? Coukd you please send me the link as it’s holidays here in Australia and I want to have a go at creating my own! Thanks so much!

Hi, Joanne! If you subscribe to our blog, you will be given access to our library of free printables which includes the tutorial you mentioned. Right under the 3 rectangles is the sign up: https://justagirlandherblog.com/ . If you are already subscribed, just look at the bottom of one of our Saturday emails and you will find the link and password. Thanks!

Hi Abby! I’m back for my third year lol! Just wondering when will you update the calendar for the 2017/18 school year? Thanks for keeping my family so organized❤️

A new student binder will be available next Tuesday! 🙂 Glad it’s been so helpful for your family! Hope you’re having a great week!

Omg! I am in my senior year of high school and these are going to make it so much easier to stay organized. You are my new hero!

Aw, yay! So glad it will be helpful for you! <3

Dear Abby, I love your free student binder coz it will be useful for me. Maraming Salamat po, it means thank you very much in Philippine language. Always a fan of your work. Rennie Lapuz

Aw, so glad! Thanks so much for your sweet message! Hope you’re having a wonderful week! <3

Thank you so much! Just printed the student binder! xxx from Greece with much love!

Yay! So glad! Hope you’re having a great week! <3

Wow that is absolutely beautiful! I love it! Makes me wish I was back in school again! LOL!! I have a question regarding your planners. I am new to planning and just getting ideas if I should go with a binder with all the beautiful printables, or one of those premade types? Or is there a way to work with both of them? You make such great printables and I would love to somehow incorporate them into a premade planner. What I don’t like about the binder type is that it’s so cumbersome because it doesn’t fold in half and takes up more room. So if you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, Sandi

Hi, Sandi! If your planner had the three rings in it, you could certainly add the printables to it. The new version of our Simplify printables are coming out in a few weeks, and they will include half sheets that fit in a small binder, so that would take up less space if that is the issue you’re having. Happy planning!

This is great! It sometimes takes so much to get students organized and the fact that this is so easily accessible is awesome! Just the fact you can print this out right at home and fill it out makes life 100% easier on individuals.

Aw, good! So glad it will be helpful for you, Charlotte! Hope you’re having a wonderful week!

Abby- this is amazing!!!! My son will be starting 8th grade in a few weeks and Ive been looking for something “perfect” to helo him get more organized and stay organized!! You never fail to amaze me with awesome printable. Thanks so much

Aw, yay! So glad it will be helpful for him, Carrie! Hope you’re having a wonderful week!

thank you so much…it is so nice.

Hi, I love all your printables!!!! they are awesome. I cant seem to get the student binder, when I press the link “I WANT PRINTABLES” nothing happens. Please help I really need this in my life!!!!!

Hi, Heidi! Shoot us an email at hello {at} justagirlandherblog {dot} com and we will get you those printables! Sorry you’re having trouble! Have a wonderful day!

helo abby i dont have email so cant print and sheets out how else can i do it i am a bit stuck because i kind of need them because they will help me out a lot in school please can you reply as soon as posible

Hi, Scarley! Email is the only way we are able to send the files because they’re so big. Maybe see if you can use a parent’s email address?

Hi I am in love with your student binder printable but I am having some difficulty understanding how to print them!

Hi, Nyssa! You should be able to open it and print it with any program that will open a PDF. If it’s not working, try a different program. I’ve heard Adobe Reader works well, but Preview (if you have a Mac) should work just as well. Thanks!

hey abby, love the binder i was just wondering if there is a way to download just one section?

Hi, Isshell. You aren’t able to download only one section but you don’t have to print it all. You can select certain pages in your printer settings I’m sure. Thanks!

Hello! I have a daughter with anxiety / ADHD. She wanted something to keep track of her homework and exams, I am hopeful this works for her as she is entering High School.

Aw, I hope it works for her, too! Have a great school year! <3

Love your organization ideas – so creative! Where did you get the colorful pocket tab dividers used in the pictures above? I love those colors!

Hi, Cydni! Just on Amazon! I have everything linked at the bottom of this post: https://justagirlandherblog.com/simplify-home-binder-tour/

Thanks and have a great day!

Thank you so much for the printable, its just what I needed to help keep myself organized for my classes!

Oh, good! So glad it will be helpful for you! <3

I love this printable! I am ten years old and I love diy and printing out things like this to organize with! Even though I’m homeschooled these will be very helpful! Thank you for making these. Bye the way I subscribed to your channel.

So glad it will be helpful for you, Hannah! And thanks so much for subscribing! Have a great school year! <3

Love these! I’m a teacher in a really low income area and I asked my students to purchase a planner to help them keep track of assignments and stay organized but many of them can not afford one. I will use this for those students.

Aw, good! So glad it will be helpful for them! Have a great year with your students, Kelly! <3

Is there a way that you can send me the student school free printable’s?

Hi, Brianna! Can you let me know what email address to send them to? We tried to send them to [email protected] and it said the email address was not valid. Thanks!

If you could explain to me how to print this that would be great.Love the idea!!!!

Hi, Miranda! What trouble are you having printing?

Hello, I love these printables but as a nursing student A4 size is too big, do you do these in A5 (half letter size) also?

Sorry, Andrea! This is the only size we have available at this time. We have a half sheet organizer/planner here if you’re interested: https://justagirlandherblog.com/get-organized-2018

Have a great evening!

I wanted to ask if there was any chance you could make like divisions for classes with a blank space for us to fill in with the name of the course. It’s just I love your printables, they are so cute and useful and I will never find schemes like yours

Hi, Ariana! That is a great idea! I’ll add it to my list! Hope you’re having a great day!

Thank you so much. I’m so glad you liked my idea! Hope you’re having a great day too!

Thank you soooooooooooooooo much. These printables are so helpful to me and also thank you for making them free to read and enjoy. You are an angel Love you lots XOXO

So glad they will be helpful for you, Athaliah! <3

Hi, I was wondering if you are going to do one for the 2018-2019 school year.

Hi, Kayla! The new binder will be available this summer. Thanks!

Could you make a version of this printable that fits a Create 365 planner? I use that planner all the time and I really like these printables but I di not want to create a separate binder for school. Thanks!- Katie

Hi, Katie! This is the only version of the student binder, but our Intentional Life Planner is available in two sizes. Not sure what size your planner is. You can check it out here: https://justagirlandherblog.com/get-organized-2018 . Thanks and have a great evening!

I don’t know where to find how to print these. I would love to, but it says I have to pay, I thought they were free printable s?

Hi, Lydia! They are free. Sorry you’re having trouble. If you send us an email at hello {at} justagirlandherblog {dot} com we can email you them in PDF form. Thanks!

Hi there. Just stopping by to see if you are planning to make a student planner (blue color scheme) for the 2018-2019 school year. I LOVE your printables.

Hi, Therese! The student binder should be updated by the end of the month. Thanks! 🙂

Hey Abby. I came across your student binder while I was in college. Now I am a teacher and I am going to give my students their very own binders. I have taken a few pages out because they are a younger class. I will let you know how they work out.

Great! Hope they’re helpful for you! <3

These are amazing!! Thank you so much for making these – and in 2 different color schemes!? These will be amazing at helping our family get more organized and in helping teach our children to become more responsible for their grades and projects. I think these will work amazingly well for alll our kids, grades 3rd-7th. I’m probably going to use these in my own lesson planning.?

Yay! So glad they will be helpful for you, Stefani! Love to hear that! Hope you all have a wonderful year! <3

Hi Abby!! I was just wandering if you could inbox me the class schedule, grade tracker, exam schedule, and the assignment schedule printables?

Hi, Aliyah! If you sign up via the form that pops up when you click the button, they should come right to your inbox!

Hi, Aliyah! Did you sign up to receive the binder? We can’t send things separately. They come all together. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the amazing printable. My daughter has dyslexia and organization is a challenge. I hope these will make things a little easier for her. One question… is there a specific reason why the daily and weekly plan start with the number 5 instead of 1? Thanks so much!!!

Hi, Debra! Those are times. We assume not many people are starting their day before 5am! 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing! I share your link with all my Early Childhood Education students each semester, and they love you! Michelle

Aw, yay! That is so sweet! So glad it has been helpful for them! Have a wonderful weekend, Michelle! <3

I am extremely picky when it comes to planners and printables, but this student planner looks terrific! What a wonderful and generous item to offer to your readers. We homeschool, and I am going to use this with my middle schooler and my high schooler. I think it will make my lesson planning simpler. I can just plug the lessons right into their individual planners. Thanks for the blue version. My son would have died rather than use a “My Little Pony” colored planner. Ha! My daughter and I love the colorful version

Thank you so much for your sweet words, Rachel! That really means a lot. I hope the planners will be helpful for you all! Have a wonderful week!

Hi Abby, the link you have to download these awesome printables isn’t there. Would you please check your link? I was soooo bummed to not be able to download these pages. Thanks!

Hi, Melissa! I just checked it and it is working for me. Sometimes if you try to click the link as soon as the page loads, you’ll get an error because the scripts haven’t had a chance to load yet. If it’s not working for you, try to give the page a minute to load, and then click the link, and it should work. So sorry for the confusion!

Thanks much Abby! 🙂

Hey Abby I can’t find where the actual documents are! I used them lady year but can find this one. I can easily view the article but can’t see the actual binder document

Hi, Ranai! You click the big pink button and enter your info, and we will send them your way! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I’m not even a student but I’m still going to be able to get good use out of some of these. Thanks for making these and especially for letting us just have them for free! You rock.

So glad they will be helpful for you, Sarah! <3

HEYYY! this is absolutely amazing!! Im so thankful for this! should i print it out using the front and back settings?

Hi, Ayra! You can print it out that way if you want to but it’s not really meant to be printed front and back. Thanks!

I love that you have a blue option for my son! Thank you!

Yay! So glad it will be helpful for him!

Yes .Queen .I’m in middle school and i’m just know fining this no joke i just sent this to my friends love this .

Yay! So glad it will be helpful for you and your friends, Chasydi! Hope you’re having a great school year!

Hey Abby! Coming from a teacher of 19 years, teaching students to plan sets them up for success! I love all your ideas and your blog!

I love your printables! Thank you for offering these for free. I am homeschooling my 5 year old this year and I have been searching for free printables to help plan and organize. I especially love that you have blue, my favorite color and have a boy.

Oh yay! I’m so glad that they will be helpful for you! Hope you have a wonderful week!

Well, here I am back again! My Early Childhood majors love your student planner, and I send them your website link every year! Thank you again, Michelle

LOVE to hear that. So glad it is helpful for them. Hope you all have a great year! <3

This is absolutely amazing!! Im so thankful for this. Thanks for making these and especially for letting us just have them for free.

Yay! So glad it will be helpful for you, Olivia!

Have a great weekend!

Hi Abby, Thank you so much for the beautiful design. For some reason I never received the access information to print them out. Please help!

So sorry they’re giving you trouble, Cindy! I just sent you an email with the info!

This is a great resource. I’m just curious what age range you think this would be appropriate for. Thank you!

Hi, Bonnie! I had middle school/high school kids in mind when I created it, but some of the pages could certainly be used with younger students as well. And I’ve had some college students tell me they’ve used it too, so it can definitely be adapted for many ages!

Make Your Own Multi-Pocket Writing Folders!

So – today I have a super easy and quick idea for all of you who don’t want multiple pocket folders in your students’ desks! DIY multipocket folders from two 2-pocket folders with brads without needing staples, tape, binding machines, or anything else!

Super quick idea today! DIY multipocket folders from two 2-pocket folders with brads without needing staples, tape, binding machines, or anything else!

Of course, you could make them even larger IF you want to cut up classroom folders and use a binding machine, but I think the basic 4-pocket folder will work fantastic for a writing folder or a 4-subject folder!

What are brads in folders?

Brads in folders are the little metal clips inside of a 2 pocket folder.

You place the paper(s) onto the fasteners, then open the brads so that the pointed ends are facing away from one another (like a butterfly’s wigs when they are open).

Now you have locked in your materials into the two-pocket folder easily!

How to make your own folder:

Two 2-pocket folders , one WITH brads and one WITHOUT brads (make sure to check the back to school sales too in the fall!)
Three-hole punch
Labels to label the pockets (see below for some I already have made up for you!)

1. Take the folder that does NOT have the brads, and turn it inside out so the pockets are on the outside.

2. Three-hole punch the open EDGE (not the folded edge)

3. Insert the holes onto the brads in your other folder and close up.

4. Affix your labels and you are set to go!

I like to add a name on the front cover, and the description of the pockets on the inside.

Super simple, right? Of course since the middle folder is not closed up, you may see a gap, but it really should not matter. If it drives you insane, you can always take a few extra minutes to glue it shut though.

I did try to place more than one folder and when I did, the middle pockets were not able to be opened freely since they were attached at the brads.

You could certainly try some different combinations, but I found just one folder to work perfectly.

How can you use your new multi folder?

Different subjects in a self-contained classroom; examples – reading, math, science, social studies
Specials teachers can ask students to bring their specials folder; examples – PE, Art, Music, Computer Science
Writing folder for writer’s workshop; examples – brainstorming, rough draft, editing, final copy
Homework folders; examples – work to be left home, work to be reviewed, graded work, homework
Math story problem processes; examples – keywords are underlined, relevant numbers are circled, a picture is drawn, final sentence is written and final answer circled
Book reports; examples – book chosen, main ideas list, rough draft and editing, final copy and illustrated cover

Below, I have some labels and you are even able to customize the student names on the front folder label!

I have included labels for a writing folder to move the pages along in the writing process or for a multi-subject folder to keep those papers that are started, but not quite finished.

Just have students place their paper into the correct folder and then grab it again the next day when you are ready to start your lesson!

Folders: The Simple Tool to Keep Middle School Students Organized in the Classroom

There are SO MANY organization tools for students! Let me share why three prong folders are the perfect tool to keep middle school students organized.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

I can’t find my notes…

It’s in here somewhere……

I know it was here yesterday….

Every teacher has at least one student who walks into the room with a pile of papers trailing behind.

They can’t find their notes or their homework and there is a good chance there may be a week-old sandwich somewhere in the mess!

As middle school teachers, we always just “assume” that kids know how to organize their notes and papers.

But…..organization is like any other skill. We need to explicitly teach middle school students how to be organized!

There are so many tools to keep middle school students organized …. the three-ring binder, the composition notebook….

After 20 years of teaching, I’ve found a system that’s worked wonders for keeping even the most DISORGANIZED students organized!

Introducing the Three Prong Folder!

I have become a firm believer in the three-prong folder . It’s literally become a life-saver for me in my classroom!

Papers go in and NEVER fall out , unlike a traditional three-ring binder.
They are dirt CHEAP (about twenty-cents a folder) – plus this means I can afford to buy a few extras for students who don’t have the supplies they need!
Since the folders are so slim, they can fit perfectly in the larger zip-up binders. Our entire team uses the three-prong folder system. It’s a beautiful thing to see several packed into a student’s zip-up finder. They always have what they need, plus the it’s light and easy to carry.

Don’t forget to pin this for later!

Setting up folders (& students) for success.

Every nine weeks, we start a new folder.

Our textbooks are outdated, so I tell the students that we are making our own science book.

I keep a stack of Sharpies handy for students to write their names and subject on the front. I keep a stack of blank address labels for black folders where a Sharpie can’t be seen!

Table of Contents – the Key to Keeping Middle School Students Organized!

For me, the table of contents is key!

It is always the first thing in our folder and is the backbone of organization.

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard a student comment, “wow, I can’t believe how much we have learned already this year!” just from a glance at the table of contents!

Here’s a link to a FREE table of contents page to get your started!

Adding Pages to the Folder

Now for the tricky part…..

Unlike a traditional three-ring binder which loads from the front, these three-prong binders load from the back. As I pass papers to each table, I tell groups to put the page in “face down.” When all of the pages are ready to go, I tell them to “ lock it in “. This signifies to flatten the brackets.

It might sound crazy, but my number one rule is anything that goes into our folders NEVER comes back out!

Think… What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…..

My PG rated classroom quote is “what happens at Grandma’s, stays at Grandmas!”

Yes, that means that homework or daily starters that I might collect do not go into the folder.

Foldables, Homework and More…

So, how’s this going to work for foldables, warm-ups, or homework assignments that you want to collect????

It is important to have a procedure in place for all of the loose papers.

A clear sheet protector i s a great addition to the front of the three-prong folder. Having a clear sheet protector in the front of the folder gives students complete control over their materials!

Foldables and homework can be easily stored in the sheet protector.
Papers are easily accessible and do not fall out.

All routines take time to establish. In my book, this one is a keeper!

The Ultimate Writing Folder

3-5 · 6-8 · All Freebies

What are brads in folders?

Brads in folders are the little metal clips inside of a 2 pocket folder.

You place the paper(s) onto the fasteners, then open the brads so that the pointed ends are facing away from one another (like a butterfly’s wigs when they are open).

Now you have locked in your materials into the two-pocket folder easily!

How to make your own folder:

You will need:

Two 2-pocket folders , one WITH brads and one WITHOUT brads (make sure to check the back to school sales too in the fall!)
Three-hole punch
Labels to label the pockets (see below for some I already have made up for you!)

1. Take the folder that does NOT have the brads, and turn it inside out so the pockets are on the outside.

2. Three-hole punch the open EDGE (not the folded edge)

3. Insert the holes onto the brads in your other folder and close up.

4. Affix your labels and you are set to go!

I like to add a name on the front cover, and the description of the pockets on the inside.

I did try to place more than one folder and when I did, the middle pockets were not able to be opened freely since they were attached at the brads.

You could certainly try some different combinations, but I found just one folder to work perfectly.

How can you use your new multi folder?

Different subjects in a self-contained classroom; examples – reading, math, science, social studies
Specials teachers can ask students to bring their specials folder; examples – PE, Art, Music, Computer Science
Writing folder for writer’s workshop; examples – brainstorming, rough draft, editing, final copy
Homework folders; examples – work to be left home, work to be reviewed, graded work, homework
Math story problem processes; examples – keywords are underlined, relevant numbers are circled, a picture is drawn, final sentence is written and final answer circled
Book reports; examples – book chosen, main ideas list, rough draft and editing, final copy and illustrated cover

Below, I have some labels which match my completed Jungle Theme Classroom Resources and you are even able to customize the student names on the front folder label!

I have included labels for a writing folder to move the pages along in the writing process or for a multi-subject folder to keep those papers that are started, but not quite finished.

Just have students place their paper into the correct folder and then grab it again the next day when you are ready to start your lesson!

Happy creating and enjoy your freebie labels below!

What else could you use this handy folder trick for in your classroom? I would love to hear in the comments below!

I have a question about the directions. In them, you state to hole punch the OPEN edge of the non-brad folder,. However, the pictures clearly show the FOLDED edge is hole punched. Other than aesthetics, does it matter? I don’t want to mess up my folders.

Good question! Either one is fine and works both ways. 🙂

How to Help Your Middle Schooler Organize with this Simple Checklist

R eady to set fire to your middle schooler’s backpack because of the mess? This easy middle school organization checklist will help .

It’s 6pm on a Thursday and I get a frantic text from a friend. Her daughter goes to the same school as mine.

“Hey, does your daughter have the math test from 2 months ago? The teacher is letting Celina retake it but she can’t find it.”

“Yeah, hold on, let me ask her.”

My daughter does have the test – which she doesn’t hand over right away because she wants to know exactly why she needs it, what it will be used for… third-degree basically.

Satisfied with all my answers, she opened her binder to the math section, pulls out the test and hands it to me.

“Thanks,” my friend texts back, “I don’t know what Celina did with it.”

Where did that paper go?

Frankly, at that age, I don’t know what I would have done with a test from two months ago either.

I had no organizational system as a kid. Instead, I stuffed papers into my backpack and then panicked when I couldn’t find them later.

Yes, I had a binder. I had notebooks. But I didn’t know how to organize them.

I stuffed assignments in the pockets – sometimes not even taking time to open the binder. I would shove it in through the top, zip up my backpack and head to my next class.

When I got home, I ignored the mess in my backpack. It was too overwhelming. Plus, I didn’t know what I would do differently if I opened it.

Most middle schoolers have NO CLUE how to organize

It’s not something we’re taught in school. Organization is something that some people are naturally gifted in and others are not.

Not true!

You can help your middle school become more organized by taking this little baby step.

Read: Organize Your Kid’s School Papers like a BOSS

Teach your kids how to organize and maintain a binder

In my course for kids, Homework Mastery, I teach kids how to do a binder run every night.

All they need is a binder with tab dividers for each subject – one for math, one for social studies and so forth. It looks like this:

During the school day, kids don’t have the time to organize. They’re running from math the science trying to make it in the three-minute passing period. It’s unrealistic to ask middle schoolers to stay organized there.

That’s why they need the binder run.

The binder run is easy to remember because organization is a FACT.

It’s a FACT that it maintains your sanity.

It’s a FACT that it helps them find things easier.

And its a FACT that not having to find a test from 2 months ago will add years to your life.

Here’s what it stands for.

F is for file your notes.

Filing notes make sense for kids. They know they’ll need their notes later and they want a place to put them.

Take this step and put all notes behind the appropriate tabs.

A is for assignments

You know how I used to stuff all the papers in my binder and not know what to do with them? This step ALONE would have changed my life.

Your child will take all the loose note papers out of their backback and file them behind the appropriate section of their binder.

Hole punch that math test and put it behind the math tab.
Open up those binder rings and place the social studies worksheet on Cairo there.
Take that lab writeup and put it behind Science.

C is check for signatures.

Those permission slips that get signed last minute.

Those enrollment forms that get missed.

No longer a problem when mentally checking off C.

Your child should ask themselves, “Is there anything I need signed?”

If the answer is no, move on. If yes, now at least there is a mental check for it.

T is turned in.

I like kids to designate a pocket in their folder for stuff that needs to be turned in.

It’s called the Attention folder. If something is in this pocket, IT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION.

Here’s the kicker. Nothing can stay in the Attention folder for more than 24 hours.

If it needs to get filed, file it.

For stuff that needs to be turned in, this is what they should check at the beginning of each class.

complete assignments
permission forms that were just signed
ticket order forms for the Halloween dance.

It all goes here.

This will take time to make a habit.

You can get the Binder Run checklist as a part of our Homework Mastery course here.

Ask your child to set an alarm in the house (or on their phone if they have one) with a reminder to do a binder run each day.

When you hear the ding, follow up with them to make sure they did it.

This follow-up by you is only temporary. After a month, your child should have the Binder Run down.

Just think, no more frantic search sessions trying to find a missing math test. Every assignment will be perfectly organized behind it’s specific tab. That’s the goal

If you want to help your child gain more ownership in homework, I suggest my course Homework Mastery. Not only will they up their organization game, but they’ll also:

Plan for long-term assignments – hello Science Fair.
Takes notes they can study from effectively
Learn how to approach teachers for help – so many kids refuse to ask for help!

14 Family Road Trip Hacks Every Parent Should Know

Scared to head out on the open road with kids? Don’t be! These family road trip hacks are a piece of cake and will make your drive so much easier – wherever you are going.

Is your kid overscheduled? Here’s your fix.

When we started my daughter in piano lessons at 4-years-old, I was excited.

You see, I had always wanted to be able to play piano.

Make no mistake, my parents signed me up for lessons. First through the local parks and rec, then through a private teacher when I got to high school.

I bordered on mediocre – mainly because I never practiced.

In high school, I saw the students who played piano beautifully and secretly envied their skill

They went to summer music camp in Boston, got offered college scholarships – all sorts of recognition. And here I was – too lazy to practice.

When my daughter started piano, I vowed that she wouldn’t be like me.

Episode 003: The Four Homework Personalities

While researching my book Drama Free Homework: A Parent’s Guide To Eliminating Homework Battles and Raising Focused Kids, I talked with lots of moms who were doing EVERYTHING – but since their child was still struggling, they considered themselves failures.

As they described the struggle at home, I noticed that four distinct “homework personalities” kept reappearing.

Do you recognize any of them in your house?

How To Maximize Your Moments For Effective Work-Life Balance

When you’re a mom who works outside of the home, you have two full-time jobs. Not only are you expected to accomplish all of the things you need to keep your home and family running smoothly, but you also need to perform your best at a job that may or may not be empathetic to your dual roles.

Time management is always an issue.

There’s no doubt that finding a balance can seem overwhelming – if not impossible. But with a little effort, you can find small pockets of wasted time and use them to maximize your efficiency leaving you with significantly less stress and more time to enjoy your family.

Here’s how.

10 Creative Ways to Organize Your Classroom Turn-In Bin

Don’t let papers take over your classroom.

Classroom organization can quickly take a turn for the worse when you start adding student papers to the mix. But you can keep it under control with a little preparation and the right turn-in bin. Here are some of our favorite turn-in bin ideas, courtesy of K–12 teachers.

1. Use washi tape to organize any set of bins.

Aliceson from Sew Crafty Teacher explains to us how she quickly makes a turn-in bin using washi tape. You can easily customize this to make it work for you.

2. Make a spot for every subject.

SOURCE: Mrs. Heeren’s Happenings

Jessica writes on her blog that she’s had these bins for more than 10 years. She instructs all of her students to turn the papers in nicely and neatly, all in the same row and direction. It’s simple and effective.

[contextly_auto_sidebar]

3. Here’s a built-in way to check for understanding.

SOURCE: Tales from a Very Busy Teacher

These self-assessment bins collect work, keep it organized, and help this teacher know what her students need.

4. A crate is simple and genius.

SOURCE: Lone Star Classroom

This isn’t exactly a turn-in bin, but it could be! Plus, it’s no doubt a genius organization system for holding extra worksheets, games, and activity sheets for those early finishers. All it takes is a simple crate and some folders. You can learn more about how this teacher labels her crate (and where she gets her labels) by heading to Instagram .

5. Your morning routine just got easier.

SOURCE: Glitter in Third ADVERTISEMENT

Kelly from Glitter on Third is a big believer in the morning cart. She writes on her blog that it really has changed her morning for the better, helping her class stay organized and start the day out right.

6. When you have multiple class periods, give yourself extra room.

SOURCE: Unknown

These bins on wheels have lots of room and are clearly marked for students coming and going in different classes. This could be a smart solution for middle school and high school.

7. Be sure to make a teacher turn-in bin, too!

SOURCE: Surfin’ Through Second

This is a turn-in bin for you! Stay organized and keep your desk tidy with a simple bin that helps you easily keep track of what you need to get done.

8. Add baskets to your walls.

10 Creative Ways to Organize Your Classroom Turn-In Bin

SOURCE: The Kindergarten Smorgasboard

We love these wall baskets from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard . They’re held onto the wall with little hooks, and you can put them anywhere you have the space.

9. Create a turn-in bin for library books.

If book organization is a challenge in your classroom, then consider this approach. With this idea, all students have a number and corresponding bin, where they store their books.

10. Keep it nice and simple with a single bin.

SOURCE: The First Grade Parade

Maybe you don’t need lots of shelves, bins, or slots. Instead, you just want to keep it simple and have a nice big turn-in bin. We like this one, especially its handles, from The First Grade Parade. There’s no mistaking what goes where because there’s only one spot.

How to keep your middle schooler's backpack organized In 8 easy steps

Have you ever opened a middle schooler’s backpack to find a mess of papers, crushed pencils, and uneaten snacks? The emoji-themed folder that your child was so excited to pick out in the beginning of the year torn to shreds? The "math" section mysteriously also becoming the catch-all for notices about PTA potlucks, field trip reminders, and returned quizzes from history class?

The transition from elementary school to middle school can be a big one that’s full of exciting new opportunities for kids: possibly transitioning from a single classroom to multiple classrooms, or moving to a different school, or meeting new classmates –– all of these can be fun and welcome adventures. However, this change is often accompanied by increased independence and the expectation that the students themselves will manage folders and backpacks, rather than keeping them within a system that parents primarily monitor. When you want to stay on top of information but still let your kid have independence, what's a parent to do? Follow the guidelines below to increase your child’s likelihood of staying on top of their assignments and clearing the clutter in their backpack.

1. Create a filing system

Establish a filing system, with a section labeled for each subject; for instance, a 6th grade math class would be called "Math 6," whereas homeroom or advisory would be marked "HR 6" or "Advisory 6." Set up the filing system so that it lives in a highly accessible spot near where your child does their homework, where you and your child (or their babysitter, tutor, etc.) go through the backpack together. Make sure your child understands that there's a file for each subject!

2. Schedule a backpack clean out

Pick one time during the weekend to initiate a backpack clean out. Friday afternoons right after school, for example, can be ideal, because there is less opportunity for pushing it off because a normal weeknight gets busy. But any time between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning is preferred over any other day of the week, because the assignments and papers in the backpack will be relatively fresh in your child’s mind, and will set them up for success whenever they do decide to sit down to do their homework.

3. Incentivize the chore

Grab the timer on your phone and set it for 45 minutes for the first time, and then 15 minutes for every week after that. Decide on a reward together: “If we can finish this whole thing in 45 minutes or less," tell your kid, "I’ll let you have a treat: would you rather have X, Y, or Z?” Treats can come in any form: extra time at a beloved video game, or choosing that evening's dinner, or a walk to a favorite local hangout. Think of these as not so much bribes but motivations. Incentives can be hugely helpful in ensuring that you’re not creating this whole filing system with apathetic or zero participation from your middle schooler. You’ll need your child’s full attention, since they’re the expert on what they are working on in school, and ultimately, they've got to learn how to do their own filing.

4. Remove distractions

Eliminate distractions: no TV in the background no other people nearby. Clear a space, like the kitchen table, and roll up your sleeves. Have your middle schooler open their backpack and take everything out: every pencil, every folder, every smashed paper at the bottom. Lay all items out on the table. Make sure that the folders or binders they have are free of loose paper. Everything that can be removed from them should be placed on the table.

5. Sort out the paper

Start to organize everything into the following three piles:

Keep: These are all documents related to the units that your child is currently working on in school. If they’re reading The Giver in ELA class, all documents relating to The Giver should be in this pile, for example.
Toss: All newsletters, reminders, and unscored documents related to past units that are definitively over. Class worksheets, study guides, and reminders related to earlier units or marking periods will likely fall into this category.
File: All quizzes, tests, and graded work from past units or marking periods.

6. Organize!

File away the File pile, and recycle the Toss pile. Using either new folders or some of your middle schooler’s now-empty folders, start to fill them with the Keep pile in the following way, labeling the folders with the following words in permanent marker:

Hold: All classwork, study guides, and pending/returned homework.
Return: All completed homework goes into this folder, including tests/quizzes that need to be signed and returned. This will help to avoid the moment when you find out that despite watching your middle schooler complete homework for hours every week, their homework average is mysteriously low and those assignments they spent hours on are among the crushed at the bottom of the bag.

7. Dust buster

Collect all writing utensils and place them in a pencil case or zip lock bag. Grab a dust buster and clean out the crumbs in the backpack.

8. Reset the backpack

Make sure everything your child will need for school on Monday morning gets placed back into the backpack itself.

The first time you do this, it’s best to give your child some space and not ask them to start on homework right away, as this might end up being a fairly overwhelming task to complete. However, once you get into a weekly 15-minute habit of going through these folders and notebooks, the amount of energy expended will decrease, and you’ll find that it can be a great way to either provide a recap for that week or jumpstart homework for the next.

Best Middle Schools in St Petersburg, FL

The city of St. Petersburg, Florida is home to 6 middle schools that are part of the Pinellas County School District , which is ranked 23rd out of 68 districts in the state and has an overall rating of 3 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities and outcomes.

Among the standout schools in the area, Thurgood Marshall Fundamental is the highest-performing, ranking in the top 25% of Florida middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts particularly strong test scores, with 93% proficiency in Algebra 1, 100% in Geometry, and 81% in Civics. In contrast, Tyrone Middle School and Bay Point Middle School have above-average test scores in certain subjects, but lower overall performance compared to Thurgood Marshall.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, ranging from 16.5% at Thurgood Marshall to a concerning 47% at Azalea Middle School . Additionally, all the schools have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While per-student spending varies, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between spending and performance. The racial diversity of the schools also varies, with Thurgood Marshall being the most balanced and Bay Point Middle School having a majority African American student population.
