School Supplies

- Backpacks- small backpacks are cute and light for your child to carry, but may not serve their needs well.  They will need a backpack that can easily hold an agenda, a lunch kit, a library book (some are quite large), projects/activities they have worked on and a change of clothing for accidents.  Children can become easily frustrated when they cannot fit everything into their backpacks.  No wheeled options please as they are difficult to manage in both the class and entryways.

- Shoes- although there are very cute shoes out there that your child may want for school (ballet flats, heels, sandals, flip flops), they do not serve them well for gym classes.  The best shoes for school are runners with good grips.  When attaining shoes for school, consider how easy or difficult they will be to put on independently.  Lace ups are strongly discouraged as many cannot tie yet or cannot tie them quickly.  We have even triple knotted them and they still undo.  Shoes that have Velcro or bungee cords are great as well as a good fitting slip on runner.

-A labeled water bottle with a push down cap or spout - no screw on or flip top lids please as these too easily tip and spill

-A labeled backpack

-A labeled lunch bag that fits easily inside of the backpack

-Indoor shoes that are appropriate for running in the gym. If shoes have laces, children must be able to tie them well enough, on their own, so that they can stay tied for the day. Otherwise please be sure to send velcro shoes or shoes with spring laces.

-A box of kleenex/ tissues

-Please do NOT send a pencil case - the student will be using baskets in their desks.

-A labeled pair of WIRED over the head headphones inside a large, labeled ziploc bag that can be left at school.  No bluetooth, wireless or earbuds please.
