It’s every kid’s favorite time of year…School Supply Shopping! If your child’s supplies are in good shape from last year (no broken binders or pencil pouches please), I encourage you to reuse them.  Please do not label each item with your child’s name.  See the school supply preparation instructions for details (below the supply list).

In addition to your child’s individual school supplies, I am requesting that each grade level provide the item listed below. As we run out of these consumable items, I will send out another request.**
