Classroom Supply List

NOTICE: THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST WILL BE USED DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY.  THEY MAY BE BROUGHT FROM HOME ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, OTHERWISE, THEY WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE SCHOOL. Life can be very busy, so we are giving parents the option to make a $30.00 cash donation to the class, and we will purchase all needed supplies on the list. All cash donations can be paid to the Q1 Office on or before Back to School Night, or you can pay online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing Knight/Bischoff  Supplies.   This will cover all student supplies throughout the whole year. We will be purchasing these school supplies in bulk which will save you money for donating instead of purchasing these items yourself. We have itemized our list carefully to figure out a cost. The only items that you will need to purchase on your own will be:
  • Over-the-ear headphones in a plastic bag, labeled with student’s name (I STRONGLY recommend purchasing a good pair of headphones, NOT earbuds, for your student to use for several years.  Students become very frustrated with headphones that do not work well or do not block out sound.  Earbuds tend to tangle very easily and don’t block out sound well, which is frustrating for first-graders.  Please try to find the highest-quality, most tangle-free headphones possible. We use headphones in the classroom a LOT, and your student will use them again in later grades).
  • 1 standard-sized back pack.  Please do not purchase the smaller-sized backpacks, as your student will be frustrated at not being able to fit books and papers neatly inside.  Book bags tend to be difficult for students to carry, especially when carrying heavy items.  Please do not purchase backpacks on wheels – these are surprisingly difficult for your student to navigate while walking in a line down the hallways.
  • Water bottle labeled with child’s name.  Please be sure that the water bottle is easy for your child to open/close and refill. 
Please have your donation paid to the Q1 office on or before back to school night August 18, 2020. If you would like to purchase items yourself here is our supply list.

THANK YOU for your help with this! :)  We will be purchasing items these items in bulk. This new supply list worked phenomenally well.  Feel free to bring in your payment to office on or before back to school night which is Tuesday, August, 18th at 5:30 p.m.  This is designed to be money-saving, since we will be able to purchase supplies in bulk, and we have carefully itemized the list and all costs involved.  The only three supplies that will not be included in the items covered by the $25 payment, and which you will have to purchase and bring yourself, are:
  • Over-the-ear headphones in a plastic bag, labeled with student’s name (We STRONGLY recommend purchasing a good pair of headphones, for your student to use for several years.  Students become very frustrated with headphones that do not work well or do not block out sound.  Earbuds tend to tangle very easily and don’t block out sound well, which is frustrating for first-graders.  Please try to find the highest-quality, most tangle-free headphones possible. We use headphones multiple times throughout the day in the classroom. Think of it as an investment. You can spend a little more money and get a good set or a little money up front and end up replacing them often.  (Your student will also use them in future grades). ##
