geometry = calculator (you don’t really need a graphing calc unless your taking a honors level geom class)/eraser/pencils
biology = folder/notebook/pencils
english = binder/post-its/ maybe a journal if your teacher is into free writing
honors world geography = notebook/almanac
japanese 1 = notebook/dictionary
art = penciles/maybe a sketch pad (everything else will be provided)
advice: try your hardest, frosh year is usually the easiest year and if you start off doing well you will most likely continue doing well! be yourself, try making new friends, do not get on any teacher’s bad side
good luck

Well wait until the first day of school cause the teachers will either hand out papers with what supplies you need for each class or tell you. And if they tell you bring a notebook and pen and a folder cause you’ll get alot of paperwork too bring home

geometry- notebook for taking notes, folder to keep graded assignments, scientific calculator
biology- notebook for taking notes, folder to keep graded assignments, note cards to make flash cards for all the vocabulary.( there is a lot in this class and flashcards help)
english- notebook for taking notes, separate notebook for whatever book you are reading to write summaries and character descriptions, folder for graded assignments, pocket dictionary/thesauras
world geography- colored pencils to color maps, notebook for notetaking, folder for graded assignments
japanese 1- notebook for taking notes, dictionary
art- i’m not really sure but i think they provide you with the things you need for this class
for all these classes you need a binder and dividers
advice!
-be yourself
- don’t slack off
- do homework every night
- take good accurate notes
- listen and pay attention
- good luck and don’t worry! high school will fly by

You’ll most likely get the list on the firsy day.
Freshman year;
1. Be yourself, it’s cliché buts it’s also TRUE. Don’t forget that your entering high school as an independent person and will leave high school that very same way; so don’t let anyone’s problem interfere with you and your life (socially and academically)
2. MAKE SURE; you go to your school’s orientation. Unless you have an emergency it’s not something that you should miss out on. They will tell you everything that you need to know. You might also receive: school schedules, class schedules, maps, sign-ups, and information about the school itself.
IF you miss it then please call the school to try and get these things a little earlier so that you don’t run into problems the first day of school.
3. It’s good to have your own style and as you move up, you will realize that. But if your still a little concerned about common styles in high school, here are some:
Shorts – especially during the summer (beginning of school year)
Cami with Cardigan – same, during summer.
flip flops – summer
Skinny jeans
Hollister, Aero, AE, A&F etc.
Plaid tops
Uggs – during winter
Sandals
Vans, Converse, Nike
Although, I commonly advise one to use their own sense of fashion.
4. Choose the right classes; DO NOT choose a class that you know you can’t handle (such as AP or honors) you will regret it. You might end up failing the class and not get credit; and it can literally destroy your GPA which is pretty tough to bring up. –Try to go for what you can handle, you don’t want to put a lot of stress on yourself during your first year of high school, because you have 3 more years of it.
5. Focus on your grade and don’t procrastinate, that is another thing you will regret near graduation time.
6. BE INVOLVED; Join an extracurricular that you enjoy. Not only will it keep you busy but you might end up making a ton of friends. Or try community service if you want to get that out of the way, if you reach up to a certain amount of hours then you have a better chance at getting a scholarship.
7. Hang with the right crowd and stay away from DRAMA; it comes in all directions so just WATCH OUT.
8. SCHOOL SUPPLIES; It’s best to wait until school starts but I know how stores can run out of stuff easily before school starts, and their deals end quickly. Just try and get the basics. Teachers will say you need highlighters, glue, markers and all that stuff BUT really you don’t . . . its good to keep them at home for projects though.
Here are the basics:
Notebook
Pencils
Pen
Binder or Folder (I recommend a folder for each class unless the teacher specifically says a binder)
Highlighters

oh dang those are almost the same classes as me
anyways.
geometry. well, i have a scientific calc on my ipod, but i’m planning to buy one for school&stuff. cause i doubt they’d let me bring my ipod (:
biology- i’m thinking a notebook. notes you know? i’m also thinking that a notebook for practically all the classes….
english- well i’m going to take honors english (i’m going into ninth…) and so far i’ve used for my summer reading: a notebook, a billion post its, and pens/pencils/erasers…
honors world geography- sorry i have no idea on this one. haha. i can’t take that class until like… sophmore year?
japanese- an english/japanese dictionary.
you know those ones were it says the word in english and then in japanese? yeah (:
art- pencils, pens, and it kind of depends what kind of art. seeing as how i am not taking that class as my japanese class replaces it, but for’suree pencils and erasers. color pencils… (prisma colors though they are a bit $$)
advice: don’t get hit by pennies
LOL JK i don’t have any advice as seen as i could use some myself. im not in high school yet.
but since i am doing a sport (volleyball) i can tell you from THAT experience to just totallybe yourself. don’t try and force friendships just because someone else is cool looking. if you’re destined to be friends, you’ll just click (:

Geometry: most schools provide graphing calculators so u should not have 2 worry about that/ 2 subject notebook, ruler, compass, pencils
Biology: binder + dividers, loose leaf paper, red and black pens, pencils
English: folder or binder ( i used a folder), pens, pencils
Geography: binder + dividers, loose leaf paper or notebook, map pencils, pens, pencils
Japanese: folder or binder, pens, pencils
