What should I get for school?

Question

Okay, my mom is taking me shopping today for school supplies, but I don't have a list from my school for what I need. What do you think I need? I'm going into 9th grade, so I'm kinda clueless about what I'm going to need for high school. Thanks!

Answer 1

just get the basic stuff now (like pencil, paper, folders, ect.) when you go to school your teachers will tell you other items you need for their class. i normally shop for school supplies a few days after school has already started cuz you never know what a teacher wants you to have for their class!

hope this helped!

Answer 2

Definitely get a calculator, a backpack, pencils, pens.  pretty much the normal but CALCULATOR is the biggest thing

Answer 3

Well,I'm a sophomore but for the first day of 9th grade,you really don't need anything besides a folder or pencils,you won't do much in the first day of 9th grade.They give you the papers with what you'll need the rest of the year.

:D

Answer 4

look on the school website they might have the list

Answer 5

Pop Princess,

By now, at this point in your academic career, you should know what works best for you. Do you like notebooks that have 5 subject dividers or do you prefer using 5 different notebooks for each class?? How do you remember your homework assignments; do you use a little notepad or do you use an agenda book?? Do you prefer writing with pens or pencils, or a combination of both? You should really shop for what you truly need and not what others suggest. Perhaps if you're taking a language, you should invest in a little pocket-sized translation dictionary. Any additional and obscure supplies you can get once school starts (for example, your math teacher might require you to purchase a certain kind of calculator or to buy a protractor). Bottom line, stick to the basics and stick with what works for you.

Answer 6

It's just the basics.  The teachers will pass out course requirements on your first day, so don't spend a lot of money now.  Buy yourself a nice backpack and three-ring binder with plenty of dividers, some notebook paper and your favorite pencils.  Buy a graphing calculator if you can afford it, but a scientific one if you can't.  Have white-out, a hole puncher, and a small stapler.

High school will be so much fun once you get over the whole intimidation thing.  Join as many activities as you can--that will not only make it easy for you to make lots of friends but it will look good on your college applications.
