First graders need the following essential items. Please be sure to label your child’s water bottle, clipboard and pencil box with his/her name. You may be asked to replenish supplies throughout the school year. Classrooms are equipped with pencil sharpeners, so personal sharpeners are not needed. Your child will not need pens, notebooks, binders or fancy pencils either; these should stay at home. Please be sure to write a note for your child regarding his/her GO HOME bus route number so there is no confusion at the end of the first day! We are looking forward to working with you and your child!
