Dealing with the first day in middle school can be a bit scary, but by preparing yourself properly before that day arrives, you can be sure that you will be ready to start the new year on the right foot.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Part 1: The Night Before
Step 1. Prepare your clothes or uniform
That way, you won't have to waste time or rush before school.
If your school doesn't require you to wear a uniform, choose clothes that are clean, appropriate, and suited to your personality. Your parents can help you if you are unsure of what to choose
Step 2. Prepare your backpack
You probably already have a list of stationery items you will need for school; you should have already dealt with this problem at this point. All you need to do is store these items in your backpack. In addition, also bring with you your tram card, your identity card (if you already have one), a few coins, your mobile phone (if allowed and you have one), emergency numbers, articles for intimate hygiene if you are a girl, any medications, etc.

Bring some spare clothes to wear after the gym. You should also have an extra spare for emergencies.
Prepare Yourself for the First Day of Sixth Grade Step 7
Step 3. Decide what you intend to do with regards to your lunch the night before
Do you want to prepare it yourself or do you prefer to buy it in the canteen? If you intend to prepare it yourself, what can you prepare right away and what will you have to leave for the next day? A sandwich should be prepared just before going out, otherwise it would rot, while a fruit, biscuits, a bottle of mineral water or a snack can be prepared the night before. If you choose to buy lunch in the cafeteria, ask your parents or guardians to give you the lunch money right away, to avoid having to chase them before going to school.
Step 4. Take a bath or shower if you are used to doing it in the evening
Otherwise, you can do it in the morning.
Method 2 of 3: Part 2: The Morning Before Going to School
Step 1. Wake up at the right time
It depends on the school you attend. Usually, six or seven in the morning is a good time, but it mostly depends on the time you have to leave the house to go to school.
Step 2. Take a shower if you prefer to shower in the morning rather than in the evening
Step 3. Eat a healthy breakfast
Try waffles / pancakes, cereals, oatmeal, toast and eggs, etc.
Step 4. Brush your teeth before you leave the house
Bring your floss with you in case something gets stuck between your teeth while you eat at school.
Method 3 of 3: Part 3: At School
Step 1. Say hello to people you already know
Introduce yourself to those you meet for the first time; some of them may soon become your good friends!
Step 2. Try to be well organized
Buy a folder to keep all your notes.
Step 3. Buy a binder or folder to store your homework and exam papers or at least stick a calendar or some post-its inside your locker to mark them
Step 4. Remember to carry out school projects, homework, relationships and whatever else is required of you
The first year in junior high isn't much different than elementary school, but teachers are much more demanding about the timing of submissions, so make sure you do it on time and study for exams.
Step 5. Inhale and exhale slowly
You finally started attending middle school!
Advice
- Organized.
- Just be yourself. Don't try to act like you are someone else.
- Avoid getting in trouble at school with friends.
- Try to make yourself presentable, to make a good first impression.
- Do your best and have fun.
- Try not to be late.
- Make sure you arrive before classes begin; This is very important.
Warnings
- Try to stay away from older kids (second and third year ones), as they are usually not very nice to first year ones. If you have a friend who is a year ahead of you, though, he could be of great help.
- Don't try to become popular at all costs; the best thing is to be yourself.
