Case-it Locker Accessory 5-Tab File, Kelly Green, ACC-21-KGRE...

Five pockets is just what my middle schooler needed for his different classes. We use it with a plain binder, not a zipper binder. for those who want to use it with one of the big zipper binders, it's nice and roomy-- enough space for even a modest-sized chromebook to hold that in place in a zipper binder.

There is lots of organization and it doesnt take up a whole lot of space in your bag

We call this the important paper folder. Everything important (well, everything) that goes to or from school goes in here. One side is hard -- so it survives the entire year in the backpack and nothing gets crumpled. The velcro close means that nothing gets lost and it doesn't matter if it is shoved in upside down. It expands nicely - so it isn't bulging and useless just a few months into the school year. Multiple dividers give kids the opportunity to categorize their papers by class. Since it is still just a folder - they don't have to mess with opening and closing a binder to put their stuff away - so it is fast and easy and way more likely that they will actually use it. It is also relatively compact - so it doesn't cause the backpack to be bulging. Highly recommended if you have kids who simply cannot / will not use binders to organize their work. And if you have a teacher who militantly insists that everything must be in a binder - then you can stick this folder inside the binder. :)

I bought this for my daughter since she is starting middle school this year. She was really worried with all of the school supplies needed and books and all about being organized. This helped her to be more organized and she absolutely loved it. There is room to put pens and small things in it and it is not big and bulky. It fits perfect in her binder.

Use on it's own to sort handouts and homework for each class. Pockets hold just the pencils and pens needed most for class. It is small and not "noisy" to carry or work with in class. Expandable pockets also fit single spiral notebooks. It is pretty sturdy but usually has to be replaced each year as pens tear though netting zip pockets.
