A Note About

Trappers or Binders for 6th Graders

If your student would like to use a trapper keeper or a huge binder to put all their notebooks and folders into as a means of being organized and carrying it from class to class, that’s great!  And, although these tools can help with organization, we find that sometimes they’ll simply become a place to ‘shove’ everything (like that elementary school desk), rather than using each subject’s folder to keep organized, resulting in misplaced assignments, study tools, notes home, etc..  So, please be sure to have a conversation about these tools (e.g., their usage and whether or not they are necessary) with students to help them decide what will work best for them to be even more successful.
