A Back-to-School Checklist For Your Teen

The first day of school is always a little crazy, and your teen may not have time to get to her locker as often as she planned — or even into it! Even if the lock to your teen's locker is built in, practicing how to maneuver a combination lock before school begins can ease first-day locker issues.

Also, ask her to decide what type of locker organizer and other accessories she wants. Once those are in hand, she can create a plan of how it will all be put together in the real locker.
