The following is a list of school supplies, which teachers may request that students bring to school. In these days of economic concerns, assistance will be available for students who need help in securing these items.

Thank you for the support you provide to your child throughout the school year. If you have any questions about this, please contact the school your child attends.

Some schools have an extensive list of needed supplies which can be viewed on the schools’ websites:
