Students should ALL have:
STANDARD (full-size) BACKPACK (to hold a 11X18 folder) with their NAME WRITTEN ON THE BACK- Strap Side, not visible from front for safety. NO wheeled backpacks.
WATER BOTTLE with their Name on it, please make sure your child can open/close on their own without leaking. Water fountains are available during recess.
LUNCH BAG with their name clearly labeled if they are planning on bringing their own snack/ lunch to school.
CHANGE OF CLOTHES (top/bottom/underwear/ socks) inside a ZIPLOC to keep in their backpack for emergencies.
Please LABEL ALL BELONGINGS. Many backpacks, lunch boxes, sweaters, etc. look alike. It is much easier to return lost items to students if their name is written on their belongings.
