Middle School Supply Recommendation List

Middle School Supply Recommendation List

Below is a list of generally recommended supplies to get an early start in preparing for the academic year. This list is intended to be a guide of likely necessities rather than a definitive, comprehensive list for each student’s class. Individual class supply requirements will be shared the first week of school and may differ slightly from the recommendations listed below; for this reason, it is recommended that families wait until that time to make purchases and ensure students have a writing utensil and computer for the first few days of school.

  • Computer (labeled with name; laptop requirements and recommendations are here)
  • Computer charger (labeled with name) 
  • Headphones with microphone (labeled with name)
