12. 6th Grade Binder
Every student is required to have one binder, filled with supplies, that he/she takes to all his/her classes

13. Why 1 Central Binder?
Often students accidently pick up the “wrong” binder from their locker during their 5 minute passing period, and have to leave the classroom to return to their locker during class .
1 binder eliminates this mistake.
Cuts down on time spent at lockers during the passing period
