Whether you are starting a new school year with K12, or joining mid-year, we want to help you start off your online education experience ready and organized. In addition to the K12 course materials your family will be receiving soon, there are some common supplies you will want to have available at home.
This list contains household items that you will need, many of which you may already have. This is not an all-inclusive list, nor are all of the items required. This list is simply a collection of commonly used items that may be needed to complete or enhance your child's lessons. The teacher(s) can answer specific questions about what materials are needed for each course and unit.
