School Supplies List for 2026-2027 School Year


General Recommendation

  • Students are encouraged to use a clear or see-through backpack to help make the security line more efficient. If that is not possible, a clear pouch for items that need to be removed is recommended.

    • Red Colored Items = MATH
    • Yellow Colored Items = SCIENCES
    • Black Colored Items = SOCIAL STUDIES
