The following is a list of materials that your child will need for class. We recommend that you review this list with your child at the beginning of each month to see if any school supplies need to be refilled.

In order to get everyone organized, each student will be given folders and notebooks for all major subjects. When these are consumed, students must replace the notebooks and folders. Keeping organized, up-to-date notebooks in all subject areas is extremely important. In most subject areas, notebooks will be collected, reviewed, and graded at least once during each unit of study.
