School supplies
High school students
High school students are encouraged to purchase basic supplies (paper, pens, pencils, etc.) before the first day of school. Teachers will let students know which specific supplies they need.
Elementary and middle school students
For the 2021-22 school year, schools have been given the option to use the district list or provide their own.
We recommend that you check the school supply page on your school’s website to see what your school requires before making purchases.
Note: Additional supplies may be requested by the teacher during the year for special projects.
