Pre-Kindergarten Programs

OWL Support Materials

Title I funds can be used to purchase materials that support the OWL curriculum. Listed below are the types of materials/categories that support each unit or several units.

The OWL Curriculum requires food items which can be purchased via the P-card or by entering a requisition in Lawson. Food Lion is an approved vendor for purchasing food items but only certain stores are approved. A listing of approved stores can be found in the CMS intranet under the Documents tab in Procurement. Non-food items can also be purchased via the p-card or by entering a requisition in Lawson as long as they are an approved vendor in Lawson.

The link to the Food Lion store information is below.

There are also unusual items which are part of the OWL Curriculum, such as worms, soil, sand, and seeds. These can be purchased at Lowes either with a requisition or P-card.
