BUY BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES? NOPE…

I BUY ALL THE SUPPLIES AND HAVE THEM READY FOR THE KIDS THE FIRST DAY 😉

I know how busy this time of year is and I want to help make it easier. I am asking guardians to pay a $30 supply donation fee to cover each student’s supplies. This way I can get all the needed supplies purchased and labeled before students come back to school.

You can pay at Q1 during Back to School Night or online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing Chaparro’s Supplies. If you would rather purchase the same items yourself, please send me an email prior to school beginning. 

Additionally, students will need to bring the following items:
Headphones/earbuds-labeled with their name. Guardians will be responsible to replace broken/damaged headphones/earbuds throughout the year.
Pencil Box–1 standard size pencil box, must be able to hold 3-4 pencils, one box of colored pencils, one glue sticks, 2-3 pens, 1-2 highlighters, etc.
SMALL bag if needed-A bag large enough to bring a cell phone or personal items they need at school. NO large backpacks are to be brought. We are a technology school, so we rarely send any papers home. ONLY lunch bags are needed if they are bringing a lunch from home. A back pack can be brought to transfer library books home once a week.
Water bottle-Student may bring a small water bottle that they can have with them throughout the day.

Lanyards are optional, I will provide them with a shirt clip. NOTE: they cannot have the kind of lanyard that has an elastic pull feature.

I will purchase the following items for your child with the class donation:

• Colored pencils (24 pack) and additional art supplies
