Summarize this article:

Know where your classes are. Try to find what floor, class, hallway, or side of the school your classes are in. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/0c\/Survive-Middle-School-%28Girl-Guide%29-Step-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Survive-Middle-School-%28Girl-Guide%29-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/0c\/Survive-Middle-School-%28Girl-Guide%29-Step-2.jpg\/aid600756-v4-728px-Survive-Middle-School-%28Girl-Guide%29-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

Is everything in your backpack? (Books, Folders, Pencils, etc) Do you have your schedule? Gym clothes? Is your back-to-school outfit on your dresser, hanging on closet/door? Know if your combination is 21, 17, 23 or 23, 17, 21. Try making a math equation, such as 23-21=17. It may be incorrect, but if someone is trying to find your combination, it's better to be "The girl who can't subtract" than "The girl who got her stuff stolen." If you always forget your locker combo, try this trick. On the inside cover of a notebook, write your locker combo like a math problem. Example: 24+16=42. So then your locker combo is 24,16,42; even though the equation was wrong. Plus, nobody knows that it is your combo. Keep your locker organized. It will be easier to find the things that you need. Don't worry if you forget your locker combination. Someone in the office can help you. If you are bringing lunch, use a lunch box instead of a brown paper bag, just so you don't waste. Many schools don't allow kids to carry their backpacks because it takes up a lot of room. And besides, a heavy backpack can be bad for you, so it's best to avoid them. Take an emergency kit with you either in your locker or your bag. You might need it. Keep a schedule with you. It will keep you organized for the day, or you could make your own. Tell yourself what you are going to do for the day.
Make a good impression when you meet your teachers for the first time. Don't worry if you get a strict teacher. Go through a checklist the day before school starts: Learn your locker combination. Use reusable materials, when possible. Get a binder with a strap or a drawstring bag.
