Supply Lists

It is recommended that students utilize a backpack for ease of transport of supplies and materials throughout the school year. This is also a safe way to transport chromebooks. In addition there are chromebook covers that can be found on Amazon and in many stores. Additional layers of protection can not hurt! Students are able to keep a water bottle with them in class and this is encouraged. Proper hydration is good for everyone! There is a water bottle filler located outside of the cafeteria.

Specific grade level school supply lists can be found on our building website and in the below attachments:
