High School Needs
I'm going to high school next year, What are all the things I need?
It's better to ask here then ask like the secretary when they're not even real students.
Thanks.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Here are some of the basic things you will need:
1. A 3 ring binder for every class you have.
-If you needed anything other than a binder, someone would have told you.
2. A lot of looseleaf paper.
- You can put a pack of paper in every binder you have. The more paper, the better.
3. Dividers.
- This makes every class a lot easier. Divide the sections of your binder into "notes, homework, tests, quizzes, etc."
4. Four funtion or Scientific Calculator.
- Depending on what Math class you have will determine what calculator you will need. If I were you, I would go ahead and invest in a scientific calculator. They're expensive, but worth it.
5. Pens, pencils, & highlighters.
6. A backback.
- I'm getting a messenger bag this year. I think they're cuter, but it's up to you. As long as it's durable.
Those are the basics, but here are some extra things I wold have if I were you.
- A pencil holder for your locker.
- A pocket sized calender/schedule.
If you are into sports, this is especially good to have. But it's also a good thing to have to write down dates of big tests, homework, or other things you'll need to remember.
- As for the ipod and cellphone, they're against the rules to have at my school. So be sure to find out if you are allowed to have them at yours before bringing them. I always bring my ipod anyways, and listen to it during lunch. Teachers usually don't care, and most always look over it because almost everyone brings them. But I never bring my cell phone. You don't get service at our school, so there is really no point.
- Don't worry about bringing gym clothes on your first day. Most likely you'll just be learning everything about your classes, and probably won't have to dress out. But when you do, bring comfortable clothes, deodorant, and anything else you will need to help you freshen up after the class.
Don't stress. Your teachers will tell you on your first day about what you will need, so if you don't already have it, you still will have time to get it.
Good Luck =]

or you could try asking people who already go to that school & see what you need. because you know, all schools are different. :)
usually you need something to stuff your books in, paper, writing utencils, some friends. transportation to & from school. a good attitude! :P um, yeah. books.
they'll eventually tell you in school what you need, but for the first day.
take a pencil.. and a piece ofpaper.

things people haven't mentioned that you need or need to know:
it's wise to bring a bottle of water
wear shoes you can walk in
bring money for lunch
you might need more than one lock if you have a gym locker
get all your info on the first day... write everything down that you need and go shopping that night.
cell phones... they're good to have.
bring a friendly attitude. wearing headphones all the time will not make you seem approachable.

lets see. calculater, one notebook for each class, one folder for each class, a ton of pens and pencils (not red...most teachers grade in red pens), some looseleaf paper, and basic school supplies like that until your teachers give you specifics for that class.

On the first day of school, they usually tell you what you need in each of your classes. just bring a pencil/pen and a notebook or paper so you can write everything down and go shopping that night.

Here's what I think you should need:
-Cell Phone
-iPod
-Pens
-Paper
-Pencils
-Backpack that is sturdy- mine broke on the first day.
-Folders/Notebooks
Hope I helped!

Ask someone who took all your classes, or a student from the school at least. They'll know better than us.
ANYWAY. You're gonna want a notebook or binder for each class, plenty of filler paper [if you get binders], pens, pencils [ mechanical are better], whiteout, erasers, etc. You'll also want to get a bag for gym clothes, and throw in an extra pair of socks [trust me, you'll want them someday], deoderant, and body spray or perfume. Being stinky for the entire day sucks, espeically in high school. Get a backpack that's big enough to hold your stuff, but not so big you'll take up the hallway space of three people. NOBODY will like you for that, not even your grade level. If you're taking a class that requires a graphing calculator, wait until school starts to buy one. You may end up using them twice in a year, and buying one won't be worth it until a year or two later. A lot of schools have classroom sets too. Highlighters are fun, too. And lots of pens. Colored ink makes notes less boring. Index cards- good for studying vocabulary, Civil War Battles, math equations, etc. Sharpies, if your school allows them, and mints for after lunch so you don't have to taste mystery meat for all of biology.
OH! Big binders get incredibly annoying, cumbersome, and heavy. So don't think you're saving yourself time by getting a massive binder for all your classes, it'll become a burden. Plus if you drop it, papers'll go flying, people will laugh, and you will be very annoyed with yourself.
Good luck, silly freshman! ;) My inbox is open if you want to know anything else.

Well I just finished high school, maybe I can help.
-Get a really comfortable bookbag and one that won't break. I spent like $80 on my bookbag in 8th grade but it was worth it because it lasted through all of highschool.
-paper notebooks, pencils, pens
-hard, three ring binders are great, get one for each major class you have
-"book sox" or book covers, they're really convenient
That's all I ever needed in school. Hope that helps.

A cell phone, an iPod with big headphones so no one can talk to you, trendy clothes, lots of friends (most of them fake), and an open mind.
