However, there are some big changes that new middle school
students should be aware of. In elementary school, students
usually stay in the same classroom with one teacher for most of
the day. That is not the case in middle school, where students
typically have a different teacher for each subject. Students must
move to a different classroom for each subject too. Since there is
not one classroom in which to store supplies, middle schools often
provide students with lockers. For many kids, getting a locker is a
welcome rite of passage
