You really should have been sent home a list from your childs school of the items required. If not, try calling the school to see if they have staff on during summer months, they will have more copies, or on the schools website possibly. If there is no one at the school right now, try another kids in your childs class for the list, if that’s still not possible then the week right before school starts teachers are back getting ready and will be able to give you another copy of the supply list.

All teachers require different tools, exercise books, binders, etc. so it’s best to get the list before buying, although you will need the basics, pencils, pens, markers, etc.

Wait until the first day of school. The teacher will tell you what to buy. Staples is a good place to find school supplies.
