What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Color code your notes, arrange them in sections or folders, whatever you feel is best for you. Without organization, you'll have trouble finding your school supplies and notes! To distinguish the difference between each class, purchase tabs or make some of your own. Another option is to purchase folders to either replace the binder or assist it. Be sure you always have an extra pencil in there in case something happens to the pencil you're using. If you prefer mechanical pencils, make sure you have extra lead in the pencil case as well.  In case you have no access to a pencil sharpener in the classroom, bring your own small one. The kind that catches the shavings is recommended, and make sure it doesn't make too much noise!  And if you don't have a small one already, ask a nearby student for one! To be prepared for math, it is recommended you slip a small calculator in the pencil case as well. If your pencil case is big enough, put a ruler in as well. If you want, you can also personalize your things. This makes it easier to tell your supplies apart from others. You can use a unique brand, write your name on things, or decorate it with stickers! That way, when you arrive at home in the evening, you will be able to organize your homework schedule and figure out which assignment is due first, and when you should work on it. Good prioritizing is necessary in this area. Keep it free of random papers - keep all papers in your binder or folder(s) - and do not clutter it with unnecessary decorations, as they are pointless and you'll have to take them down at the end of the year. It is recommended you stack your books in your locker in the order of your classes. That way, you can easily grab your book from the top stack, and later slip it underneath the pile for tomorrow!

Summary:
In order to be a good student, one of the key areas you'll have to work on is being organized. Buy a binder to store your notes, homework, and tests/quizzes in it. Buy a pencil case and put all your writing utensils in there. Buy a planner or an agenda to make note of the due dates of assignments, tests, and big projects. Make sure your locker is clean and organized.
