Third Grade Supplies
Third Grade would prefer for families to purchase their child's school supplies. Here's our list.
If you are able to donate extra for students in need, that is always appreciated.
The colors of the folders are important in third grade. This will help students organize and locate resources efficiently.
Don't see any pictures of your student here? If you would like to see occasional pictures of your student in the 3rd Grade Photo Album, take this quick survey and let us know!
