School Supply Lists

Dear WJPS Community,
We have a generic school supply list for all students, except the 9th grade, which has its own supply list. The lists are available in your "digital locker" on TeacherEase.com. They can also be downloaded by clicking on the following links:

9th grade School Supply List as a .doc
9th grade School Supply List as a .pdf

Here are the items on the lists: (9th grade - read all the way to the end for your additional items)

General List:

• 3-ring loose-leaf binder depending on student/teacher preference). If used, it should be stocked with dividers and loose-leaf paper
• blue or black ink ballpoint pens
• #2 pencils
• Post-It Notes (5-pack assorted sizes)
• 1 pack of graph paper
• 12-inch ruler
• compass and protractor
• Calculator (see below for type):
• High School: graphing
• Middle School: Scientific (Texas Instruments)
• 5 Marble Composition Books - 100 sheet each
• Glue Stick
• 5 folders with pockets
• 1 pack of index cards
• 1 6 or 12 pack of washable markers
• 2 highlighters
• Thumb Drive (available from the school store)
• Individual teachers may have other needs for their classes

We are no longer able to provide the following items, so students should bring their own if needed:
Mini DV Cassette
Memory Card for Camera
Rewritable CD/DVD

Only school combination locks are used on student lockers. They will be available for a non-refundable, one-time only, rental fee of $5.oo, to be collected on the first day of school.

The following donated items would be greatly appreciated. They can be brought to advisory class during the first few days of school. Please mark them clearly with student's full name and grade: tissues, hand sanitizer, loose-leaf paper, ball point pens, washable markers and 8 1/2 X 11 inch copy paper.

At WJPS, we incorporate technology into the classroom, and most teachers have a class website that students can access day or night. Oftentimes, assignments can be uploaded, downloaded, emailed, blogged, attached, ninged, jinged or word processed, double spaced in 12-point type! A graduation gift of a FlipVideo or other video camera or a laptop computer will be a great investment for a student!

NINTH GRADE

Barrons Regents Exams and Answers in:
US History and Government
Biology - Living Environment
Integrated Algebra OR Geometry
