Sign-up for Text Reminders/Updates  7th Grade Recommended Materials List: Over the years parents have asked what type of school supplies do I need to buy my child for school. The state of California has a "free public education", which means school supplies and individual text books are free. However, many students like to have their own personal supplies and be able to individualize them. In addition, we have found most students like to purchase some type of backpack to carry books and supplies between classes and to and from home. If you're interested in purchasing your child's personal supplies, below is a list of items most frequently used.
Recommended & useful for students to use with iPads. - headphones (they are class sets for students to use) - stylus (also available in 7th grade classes for students to use) - padded carry case Akers Academic Support Opportunities Daily 7:15 to 8am with Mrs. Camarena (All Subjects) Daily 7:30 to 8am with Mrs. Godinho (Math) Daily 12:45 to 1:20 with Ms. Orosco (All Subjects) and Mr. Tashima (ELA) (let teacher know PRIOR to lunch that day) After school: Please check-in with a teacher for availability At home: teachers are available via email.
