The other way to make good use of the space is with deep cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen. I buy deep bins from the container store, and this helps tremendously with making use of the full cabinet space.
If you don't use a locker, or if digital reminders are more your thing, I'd suggest using an alarm on your phone. For example, if dismissal is at 3:20 PM, I would have an alarm go off at 3:22. You can add labels to your alarms, so I would have the alarm say something like, "Bring home saxophone." And the good news is, since everybody has a cell phone now, anybody can use the alarm system.
