Supply Lists

Please label the following items:

• An oversized, white T-shirt with your child’s first name and last initial printed on the front and back of the shirt in large, permanent letters. This shirt will be kept at school and worn to physical education, art, spanish, and music classes. The shirt should be large enough to fit over your child’s clothing, but not so large that it will be a distraction.

• A pair of non-marking gym shoes, which will also be kept at school for physical education class, since “everyday” shoes are not allowed on the gym floor. Velcro shoes are recommended for any child who is not yet able to tie his/her own shoes. 

• An 18 quart/17 L rectangular, plastic storage tote (18 ⅛” L x 12 ¼” W x 7” H). Your child must be able to fit their rest blanket, pillow and rest buddy in the box independently and with ease. Feel free to help your child personalize their tote with stickers, drawings, etc.!

• Your child is also welcome to keep one rest buddy (small stuffed animal) at school for rest time. Please help your child to choose a stuffed animal that he/she will be okay keeping at school, since rest buddies will not be sent home each night.
