Our Supply List:
Preferred Items:
Note: Although the school provides the materials and supplies for basic instructional activities, the optional supply items on this list will allow your child to have an enhanced educational program.

Office Referral
If a child is persistently naughty (hitting, kicking, spitting, using profanity or destroying school property) they will have to go through the school referral process. Please remember that referrals go on your child’s permanent record.
Snacks
For our class, we ask that you send in healthy snacks that you know your child will eat. You can send the snack in daily or weekly with your child or you can choose to send in snacks in bulk quanity and we will store it here in the classroom. We will share our bulk snacks with all students in the class.
Some examples of the healthy snacks we prefer are carrots, celery, crackers (goldfish or peanutbutter), already popped popcorn, teddy grahams, fruit cups, fresh fruit, fruit juice boxes, and water.
