PreK - 6: To reduce parent expenses for school supplies and unnecessary waste, the district will provide students with classroom materials needed for a successful school year.  We request that families provide students with a backpack, headphones, reusable water bottle, and snack/lunch bag.  These important back-to-school supplies will ensure that students are ready for school.   Everything else will be provided by the district. If you need support with any of these items, please contact your child’s School Counselor.
 
7-12: Teachers will communicate supply needs at the start of the school year.
