2024-2025 Supply List

ON CAMPUS SUPPLIES - GRADES K-12

In place of a supply pouch, we will be collecting a $20 PBL fee for each student in grades K-12. This will cover supplies and materials that will be used at school throughout the year for project-based learning.

In addition to the supply fee, students will need their own set of headphones (labeled with your name) that travel to and from school with them. Students may wish to have a backpack to carry their device and belongings in.

*Note: Over the head headphones work best for little ears as earbuds tend to fall out or break easily.

You can pay your $20 PBL fee by clicking here.

*PLEASE ADD YOUR STUDENTS FULL NAME AND GRADE IN THE NOTE SECTION

Requested items:

• Clorox wipes

• Small ziploc bags

• Kleenex tissues

Helpful supplies to keep at home:

• Crayons

• Colored pencils

• Glue

• Pencils

• Mini whiteboard / dry erase markers

• Printer - incase you want to complete work on a hard copy

Grades K-2:

• A math manipulative box can be very helpful at home for young students to help visualize early numeracy skills. Students are able to use this kit in grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade. If you wish to purchase a math supply kit, it can be found on Amazon by clicking here.

iPad Request Form

• Students will need a device while on campus. Athens City Schools provides iPads for each student to use. If you do not already have an ACS iPad, you may request an iPad using this link.

*Note: Students are able to bring their own personal laptop or iPad on campus but we are not able to provide tech support or assistance with functionality. Most students bring their ACS issued iPad on campus and then may choose to use a different device at home.

If your student has an inhaler, epi pen, medication, etc. that will be left on campus, this must be completed and submitted to the school nurse. Students are not able to self carry medications in their personal items. Medications can be signed in with Nurse Whitney during orientation on August 13.
