****SCHOOL SUPPLIES****** BASICS – No. 2 pencils – Mechanical pencils – Colored pencils – Pencil sharpener (hand-held with a top to collect shavings) – A large pink eraser – Ballpoint pens (Get a few red ink ones too, because some teachers have students do peer editing.) – Highlighters – Spiral-bound or composition notebooks – Loose-leaf notebook paper (Teachers can be picky about paper. Some ask that students use the college-ruled variety.) – A ruler with English and metric measurements ORGANIZATIONAL HELPERS – Several three-ring binders (Some teachers require that a binder be used exclusively for their class.) – A three-hole punch (a regular one or one that fits in a three-ring binder) – A pencil case that fits in a binder – Binder dividers (The kinds with pockets are good for loose papers.) – Pocket folders – Folders that fit in binders – Agenda/Planner – A calendar for scheduling assignments – A sturdy, supportive backpack (Some schools do not permit rolling backpacks because of space considerations, so check with your school before considering this option.) – Two combination locks (If the school lockers do not have built-in locks, you might need one for the hallway and one for the gym.) – Flash Drive to save any important documents STUDY AIDS – Index cards, ruled and unruled (These are great for making flash cards.) – Highlighters – A calculator (Check with the math teacher first before investing in an expensive one. Graphing calculators, for example, are required in many high school math classes. Teachers advise parents not to buy a calculator with more functions than students will use.) *****WHAT TO BRING ON THE FIRST DAY**** Folder – for all the syllabuses, rules, guidelines, & supply lists that your teacher passes out Pencil – Just in case your asked to do a small activity that involves writing Paper – Again for the small activity Locker items – If your locker was already given out to you then it’s best to bring your lock & throughout the week you can bring your locker items.
