All textbooks, manipulatives, and other instructional materials are the property of the School, and students use them on a loan basis. Students are not allowed to write on or in their textbooks at any time, unless they are designated as consumable. We also provide all necessary stationery supplies, workbooks, and other consumables for each student (in the Lower School only). Backpacks are provided for all Lower School students. Only Grade 4 students may choose to bring their own backpacks.
