School Supplies
Please see below for the kindergarten to grade 6 school supply lists for the 2023-2024 school year.
This year we are teamed up with School Start program that you can order your supplies directly through for delivery to your home. Or take the list and do your back to school shopping at any store you choose. Remember, you can purchase parts of the supplies if your child already has supplies that are in good order from the previous year.
PLEASE NOTE: No calculators will be needed for this school year.
Students in grade 4 will be given a bible, and students in grade 5 and 6 are asked to bring the bible to school that they received in grade 4.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
