SCHOOL SUPPLIES



Following is a suggested list of school supplies. Individual teachers may have additional requirements.

Students are encouraged to develop an organization system with which they are comfortable. 3-ring binders are not required, but they are effective if used properly. If a 3-ring binder is not used, a folder or smaller binder for loose-leaf paper should be used.

Backpacks and/or book bags are not permitted in the classrooms. Since it is not guaranteed that students will be permitted to visit their lockers in-between each class, a pencil case would be helpful in which to carry small items such as pens, pencils and post-it notes.

Only school combination locks are used. They are available on the first day of school for a one-time $5.00 fee. If you paid your fee last year, you do not have to pay it again.
