Paper Organization System | Back To School | UniKeep

It’s July and it’s already time for back-to-school shopping. Supplies to organize paper are usually at the top of the list.

Regardless of whether you’re a parent, teacher, or student, keeping school papers organized is tough. Most families use a kitchen counter or table that’s dedicated to the piling and sorting of paper. In addition to your own papers, if you have school-aged kids, you have their daily paperwork too.

Creating mounds of unorganized piles means you’re bound to lose or throw away important papers.

Think about it from a student’s point of view. Each day she has to navigate the endless cycle of getting more papers from school, fitting them in the right place, and trying to locate them later. Stressed out and unorganized is not the best way to start the school year.

How can you increase your student’s odds of success in the classroom?

Selecting an ideal classroom paper organization solution is key.

 

Organizing classroom paperwork

The most important consideration for selecting an organization system for homework and school papers is to find a method that works for your student.

According to Edutopia, an organizational system should make it easy for students and teachers to:

• Collect and process information
• Organize the processed results
• Review the results and take action

 

How to get organized for school

UniKeep’s fully-enclosed, case-style three-ring binders function as complete storage systems that can be used to organize and protect homework assignments, reports, projects, and classroom notes.

What makes them different from other binders?

These binders snap closed, so contents are protected from getting lost or
damaged from spills and dirt.

Homework assignments, reports, and study guides stay in place inside, and nothing spills out of the sides and gets lost.

Even better, these binders have a clear polypropylene overlay so you can customize your own cover and then easily repurpose it later on.
