This year we are asking for a donation of $35.00 to cover all student supplies throughout the whole year. We will be purchasing these school supplies in bulk which will hopefully save you money for donating instead of purchasing these items yourself. We have itemized my 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 14, 2017. 







If you are unable or would like to purchase items yourself here is our supply list.

Please look over it carefully! If it seems that we are being picky about certain items, it is only because we have witnessed the frustration of many, many first-graders while they struggle to use inadequate supplies, and we want the best experience possible for your student! THANK YOU for your help with this!
