For physical education

All students must bring a pair of gym shoes and socks

7th & 8th graders need a change of clothing appropriate for physical activity (gym shorts & T-shirt for inside activities and sweat pants & sweatshirt for outdoor activities).

NOTE:

The school will give each student a planner to record their homework assignments in.

Students are not allowed to take backpacks to class.  Backpacks are kept in lockers, and binders and books are carried to classes.

Students must purchase special locks from the school for lockers (or reuse last year’s lock).

During the year teachers may request students purchase certain items for a special project in class.

We are going to make a renewed push for students to come to class with all of their supplies every day.  Most students start out the year with everything, but, for some, the supplies just seem to fade away.  It derails classroom learning when students don’t have what they need.  We ask for your support in keeping your student supplied throughout the school year.  Thank you!
