<p>Hello 
What are you expected to bring on the first day of high school? Notebooks? Pens and pencils? Binders? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>The teachers will all tell you what they want you to have on the first day, so you shouldn’t go shopping until afterward. Just bring a notebook, a folder, and something to write with. </p>
<p>For all my classes, I’ve only ever needed a notebook or binder. All about your preferences for which you’d rather have. Some classes have specific requirements for what you need exactly (like I’ve needed a composition notebook for some classes to turn stuff in, or a folder in addition to regular materials). All you really need on day one is a pencil and paper.</p>
<p>Your backpack / bag, snacks & your lunch.
I brought a notebook and folders for each class necessary along with a pencil pouch with pencils and pens. I kept all the binders & heavier stuff at home.
The first day you’d just be handed out a syllabus from each class.</p>
<p>What I’ve been doing for two years is have two non heavy binders.
One for math & science.
The other for history & English.
It keeps me more organized that way.
I would put lined & graphing papers in the math & science binder, since there were less items in it. </p>
<p>As for notebooks and stuff, you have to see what the teacher expects.
Like some English teachers would want you to have composition notebooks for example </p>
<p>Ha, I remember on the first day I brought crayola crayons, color pencils, and markers because I thought maybe we would do something creative. Turns out teachers provide that stuff, and you don’t do anything fun 
</p>
<p>Bag, notebook, binder, and lots of pens/pencils just in case. That’s all I usually bring on the first day of school unless my teachers let me know before hand over email.</p>
<p>Here’s a challenge: bring nothing but an eraser and make up a tragic story explaining why you only have an eraser. </p>
<p>Book bag:
Pencils (Extras for friends if you have any from previous school and to be a good kid)
Pens (For you, pens are best)
Paper (looseleaf is good)
Binder (to hold your looseleaf)
Folder (2, one to hold all your important forms to get signed, one to just in general have)
2 Notebooks (random teacher might teach or want you to start making a notebook)
1 Composition Notebook</p>
<p>Your brain</p>
<p>I usually bring this stuff (I was advised by my sister that this is usually what you need):
One (1 inch) binder for each core class (as well as a foreign language class)
One folder for each elective class (excluding foreign language)
Pencil pouch
Pencils
Pens
Highlighters
Pencil sharpener
Agenda (At my school, you get this on the first day)
Loose leaf paper (distributed among the binders)
Fancy smancy calculator
A novel for free time (you don’t need this but I do to keep sane)</p>
<p>These are the basics at my school, and personally what I feel comfortable with. On the first day, they are more specific about the requirements. Such as, your math teacher might ask for graph paper or your English teacher might ask for a composition notebook. Like others said, you could bring less than this and just wait to hear what the teacher says but I prefer to be slightly prepared and I hate driving to the store on the first day of school and getting all the leftover school supplies.</p>
<p>Aww, this is so cute! I still remember my first day of high school, haha.</p>
<p>I think everyone else has summed it up pretty nicely. Bring a backpack and some pencils and pens and a notebook, and you should be fine. Maybe a folder as well for all the papers that’ll be passed out. The very first day of class is usually just going over the syllabus and teacher expectations.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and make sure you know your schedule!!! During freshman orientation they’ll probably point out where all the buildings your classes will be in, but it might be helpful to go in beforehand and make sure you know where the exact rooms will be so that you don’t get lost on the way there. This happened to me on the first day of freshman AND sophomore year. The first time it was understandable, but the second…not so much! </p>
<p>You only need a folder for the MILLION handouts, a agenda and maybe a notebook for those ambitious teachers that try to chunk information in the last 10 minutes. </p>
<p>I know on the first day a lot of people don’t bring anything at all haha. Definitely bring a folder for the million handouts you’ll get, an agenda, some writing utensils, and paper. Your teachers will tell you all the specific things you need for their class. Also bring lunch money/lunch, YOUR SCHEDULE (even though it should already be memorized), and possibly a sweater (my school was Antarctic for the first couple months because the air was broken - it wouldn’t turn off).</p>
