Dear Junior High Parents,
We made it through another year and are all ready for a nice summer of relaxation, fun, and peace. Before we know it, stores will stock up with “back to school” sales. In anticipation of those money saving bargains, we have created a list of supplies that will be needed for the upcoming school year for students in grades 6-8.
Science
· One three-ringed binder with loose-leaf
· One pack of hole reinforcements for the loose-leaf
· Pencils
· Pens-blue or black, but definitely a red pen
English and Reading
· Notebook for each class with perforated edges
· Writing composition book
· Folder for each class
· Ink pen (blue or black) (erasable for sixth grade)
· Sharpened pencil(s) for tests
· 3x5 lined index cards- 1 pack fir grade 6, 2 packs for grades 7-8 (do not get the post-it kind, or the ones with the spiral ring) it is for the research paper project. It is easy for me to collect them with the student’s name on them to save for when we do research papers.
