Getting Your Child ready for School

 

Things that your child needs for school

Backpack

Your child will need a backpack that is big enough to hold their lunch bag, a large library book and a mailbag.  The mailbag will be provided by the school.  

 

Lunch Bag

There are many options for lunch bags.  Choose an option that your child can open independently and works for your family.

Indoor Shoes

Your child will need a pair of shoes that can be put on independently.  Running shoes are recommended so they can be used in the gym.

reusable Water bottle

We have water bottle refilling stations in the school.  Children are encouraged to refill water bottles to make sure they stay hydrated throughout the day.

Extra Set of Clothes

On the first day of school, your child will be given a large ziploc bag to put their extra clothes in.  These clothes will be kept at school and sent home periodically to change for seasonally appropriate clothing.  Please include socks, underwear, pants/skirt, and shirt.  If you have a child who dislikes wet toes, please send 2 pairs of socks.
