Your school offers lockers to help you store all

Locker Organizer Ideas

One of the first things you'll want to do as you think about your locker organization is how do you want to use your locker, and what kinds of things are you going to keep in it. If you're like most students, you're going to have a fair number of books for all your classes. Locker shelves are going to be important for your organization. Are you going to have wet gear of any kind, such as gym clothes, swim suits, rain gear, etc? If so, you might want to get a locker basket to store them.

Another idea for handling wet gear is getting a battery powered locker fan. This will help them dry out faster and will minimize odors. Another good reason for a basket or other small container is to organize small items like pens and pencils, art equipment or other small tools you need at some point during the school day.

Features to Consider in a School Locker Organizer

Making a list of the kinds of features you want to have to be able to organize your locker is a great way to make sure you pick the right one for you:

Getting the right dimensions - this one is critical. Make sure you know what size your locker is so that you can get an organizer that will fit inside.

Hanging locker organizer - be sure to check to see if your locker has a way of accommodating the hooks or hangers of a hanging organizer. If it does, this is one of the best ways to maximize your locker space. Look for an organizer that starts right at the top of the locker and goes all the way to the bottom. One of the advantages of this type of locker organization is that you can use it in other places when school is out to help you keep organized, since they can be hung from closet coat rods as well.

Locker Basket - You may want to be able to have an enclosed storage unit in your locker for gym closes and shower gear. If you're going to be storing wet items like swim suits, be sure to check what the basket is made out of and can handle prolonged exposure to water.

Ease of installation - be sure to look for something that will be easy to get in and out of the locker so that you're not struggling with it at the beginning and end of the school term, or if you should ever be required to change lockers.

Taking just a little time to look for the school locker organizer that will suit your needs will pay off in your reduced frustration throughout the year.
