Across
  1. 1. We're the pencils, pens, and paper too, / The tools of your trade for all that you do. (8)
  2. 5. I ring at the start and the end of each class, / My sound brings relief so the time will soon pass. (4)
  3. 7. I am a metal circle, a code you must crack, / So your items are safe and nobody can attack. (4)
  4. 8. We are the friends you haven't yet met, / But we'll share a room for the course you've been set. (9)
  5. 9. It's not just a subject, but the pursuit of the mind, / A collection of lessons for all of humankind. / It's the reason you're here, the work that you face, / A journey of learning to find your own place. (9)
  6. 11. I am a long path, a busy place you will walk, / From one class to the next, while you all talk. (7)
  7. 13. I'm the one you turn to when you have a big fear, / My advice is a whisper you'll want to hold dear. / I help with your choices, your path, and your plans, / I'm the one you can trust, with a map in my hands. (9)
  8. 16. I'm the boss of the school, you could say, / You hope not to see me on a bad day. (9)
  9. 18. I'm a class where you run and you throw a ball, / To get you moving and standing up tall. (2 words: 8, 9)
  10. 21. I am a metal box, a combo you must recall, / I keep all your secrets and books, and will stand tall. (6)
  11. 23. We are heavy companions, with facts on every page, / We'll help you learn everything, from a very young age. (9)
  12. 24. I'm the work that you take with you after school ends, / To help you learn more with your teachers and friends. (8)
  13. 27. I'm a place and a group where all of you learn, / To where you're headed on the first day, there is no need to yearn. (5)
Down
  1. 1. I am the paper that guides you all day, / Telling you where to go and what to do, come what may. (8)
  2. 2. I tell the rules and how grades are earned/ The first page you read before lessons are learned.
  3. 3. I am a meeting to show you the way, / To find your new classes before the big day. (11)
  4. 4. I stand at the front, with lessons to give, / I hold the key to the life you will live. (7)
  5. 6. I'm the past in a book, of battles and dates, / A tale of the world and of the different states. (7)
  6. 10. I'm a feeling you get when you're new and unsure, / A fluttering you feel right down to your core. (7)
  7. 12. I'm the midday break where you stop to eat, / A time for food and new people to meet. (5)
  8. 14. I use rhymes and tales, both new and old, / The language of stories, stories to be told. (7)
  9. 15. With letters and numbers, I solve for a quest, / To find the right value, I put you to the test. (7)
  10. 17. I'm a large hall where the whole school will meet, / For a talk or a speech from a person of feat. (8)
  11. 19. I am the subject of plants, insects, and bees, / The study of all life that exists among the trees. (7)
  12. 20. I am a big room, with tables and chairs, / Where you gather for food and don't have any cares. (9)
  13. 22. I am you, a learner, a face in the crowd, / Ready to learn things, said out loud. (7)
  14. 25. I am a name for a student in their first year, / A new beginning is finally here. (8)
  15. 26. I am the container you carry on your back, / To hold all the books and things that you'll pack. (8)
