New Student Orientation - Thursday, August 18th starting at 10 am!

2022 - 2023 School Supply Lists Teachers will give class specific supply requests to students the first week of school. However, as you start preparing for the new school year here are a few basic supplies that would be beneficial to have on hand as the year starts: Some kind of folder system for organization such as a trapper keeper, loose leaf paper, a few notebooks, plenty of pencils and pens, erasers, glue sticks, and some kind of coloring utensils such as crayons or colored pencils. Most importantly, your child will need a clear water bottle that is made so it will not leak if spilled.
