Tips for Students Get your parents to take you to the school before it opens so you can see where things are. Keep in touch with your friends from last year and plan to go with them at least for the first week of school, you won't feel alone. If you'll be taking the school bus or public transit, know where the stops are located and the times of departure. If possible, go on a test run. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Most teachers are prepared to help lost students find their way around the first few weeks back.
Practice your combination lock well before school begins. It will be one less thing to worry about. Write down your locker number on the inside of your pencil case in case you forget where it is the first little while. A thousand lockers in a big school all look the same. Talk to people.
