Summer Welcome Letter & supply list

Here is a link to our summer letter that you should have received a week ago in the mail.  Please don't miss the section about Fort Ross!

Classroom Supply List  (same as the one in the letter)

The school will be providing most classroom supplies, but please bring the items below to the classroom by the first day of school, clearly labeled with student’s name in permanent marker.  Label anything else that comes to school, like lunch boxes and jackets, too!

  • One 2-inch 3-ring binder with zipper closure.  The Mead one is very sturdy. If you bought one last year that is still in good shape, please reuse it. They range from $8 to 20 dollars. The zipper is important so papers do not fall out.

  • A roomy backpack that the zipper binder will fit within.

  • 1 red and 1 blue folder that come 3-hole punched and snap into the binder. These will help your binder stay organized.  These colors are important for homework tracking.

  • Pencil box:  The students have storage cubbies/baskets in the classroom, but pencils and such can slip out easily.  
  • Recommended: Sturdy mechanical pencil with 0.07mm leads.  We have refill leads in the classroom.


  • Optional: personal supply of pencils, pens, erasers etc. to store in pencil box.
