These items are not required, but are needed and used throughout the year, students usually need some new supplies after winter break. Donations are accepted all year. Thank you for enriching your child’s education.
If you have difficulty providing these items there are several organizations in town that assist with supplies. Please feel free to reach out to school staff for more information.
*Individual Teachers once assigned may ask for a few specific items*
Because of the number of teachers students have at secondary (6-12) we provide some general items but teachers may ask for some additional specific items.
