School Supplies September 2020
Dear Parents and Guardians,
To help in preparing for our new and “unique” school year, teachers of the following grades were consulted to offer a “wish list” of supplies they felt your child would benefit from having on hand. Since these items are not to be shared in class, as they would have been in previous years, it is requested that each child bring their own personal supplies. Our school will offer supplies as best as possible to meet the needs of each individual student, however, your support would be greatly appreciated.
A few points to consider:
- Keep the supplies simple and where possible, label items with your child’s name
- Refresh the supplies from home and send only what the child needs (i.e. instead of a package of pencils, send 1 or 2)
- Pencil case or storage container to keep items organized
- School Agendas for Grades 1-6 can be purchased from the school
- Students in Grades 7-8 will need to purchase or select their own style of time management (i.e. a paper styled agenda or electronic/graphic organizer/calendar). Please discuss this with your child.
- We will try our best to use the outdoors as a classroom-consider a hat/sunscreen that your child could have on hand to wear
- Indoor shoes a must to keep our school clean
- Reusable water bottle
- Unscented hand sanitizer, masks (grades 4-8), mask holder (bag), consider a spare mask as a backup
We hope this is helpful in preparing your child for September!
Thank you
Ms. Rocca and the SJE Staff
