The Night Before

1
Pick your clothes or prepare your school uniform for the next day. Place or hang your clothes for the morning in a handy place. If you wear makeup to school, stop doing so then you can get ready faster. If your middle school is okay with you wearing makeup, simply concealer, a little brow filling and mascara will do great. For more options, u can use a bit of lip tint put it on your dresser, your nightstand, or in the bathroom, so you know where to find it if you want it easily in the morning.
2
Pack all you homework, permission slips, gym clothes, workbooks, notebooks, and anything else you need for school in whatever bag or back pack you use.

3
Prepare your lunch, and store it in the fridge or freezer. A great choice is peanut butter and jelly because it can be stored in the freezer, taken out in the morning, and thawed by lunch, soggy bread - yum! If you'll buy lunch at school, find some lunch money and pack it in your bag or back pack.
4
Brush your hair. When you do this again in the morning it won't be so tangled. If you don't want to take shower in the morning or if want to take a bath, now is the time! If you do it the night before, you can also shave your legs, armpits or any where else if you to.
5
Set your alarm, probably at least half an hour before you need to leave for school. If you tend to fall back asleep after you hit the off button, try moving it across the room so you have to get up to turn it off.
6
Go to Sleep on time. Get into your night clothes, get in bed, make sure your alarm clock is set and get ready for a new day by getting a good night's rest.

In the Morning

1
Turn off your alarm clock when it sounds. Stretch. Walk over to the window, look outside and think, "Hello world!" or any positive thought to brighten your mood right after waking up.
2
Wash, shower or bathe. If you didnt the night before. Get your clothes on.
3
Grab your backpack and shoes and put them by the door. Go to the kitchen and grab your lunch (if you made one) and put it in a lunch box. Get a quick breakfast that you can eat in about 5 minutes, or even eat on the way to the bus stop, or as you walk to school or are driven to school. (Some choices are cereal bars, or an apple.) However, don't rush it!
4
Have a drink like water, juice or milk. You don't want to be thirsty in class.
5
Go to the bathroom and brush your teeth. Also floss. Put on deodorant if you do, use epilator or a shaver to remove body hairs. Wash your face and put on any lotion. Apply your makeup.
6
Watch some tv, play a game with a sibling who doesn't go to school yet (if you have one), or double check your homework if you have time. It will get your brain working for a day ahead. Or you can simply catch up on some reading.
7
Put on your shoes, grab your backpack and your lunchbox when its time to go. Say bye to your family and go to the bus stop, get in the car or start walking to school.
8
Remember you will probably do a good job in school.

Community Q&A

Question

What time should I wake up?

Community Answer

It depends on how long it takes you to get ready and how long it takes you to get to school (and what time you have to be there). You should probably get up about an hour and a half before school starts, at least.
Question

Is it better to have a routine that I’ve written down, or is that taking it a bit too far?

Community Answer

If it helps you to have a written down list, then by all means go for it! That is definitely not too much if it helps you to get into the routine. Eventually, you will have the routine down so well you won't need the list.
Question

What if my alarm clock falls off my bed and breaks while I'm sleeping and I don't realize it?

Community Answer

Don't leave your alarm on your bed. Place it securely on a table beside your bed, or even a table across the room from your bed where it won't be disturbed.

Warnings

Always, if your parents already left, lock the door behind you and make sure you have a spare key. You don't want someone coming inside or you getting locked out!

Don't rush! It will leave you grouchy and may not look your best. It might even affect your concentration and performance in school

Remember, if you have time before school, try to play with a sister or brother who doesn't do school yet.
