We Hope You Have an Enjoyable Summer with Your Child. We Are Looking Forward to Working

Dear Parents, 2016-2017

We hope you have an enjoyable summer with your child. We are looking forward to working with you next year and making it a successful school year for all of us.

Knowing how anxious the children are to get their school supplies, and in order for you to take advantage of the sales in the summer, we are supplying a list of the necessary items to begin second grade. Please label all items with your child’s name before sending them to school.

At times on the list we ask for specific brand names. This is because we have seen other products stop working, break or become useless shortly after being used. The brand names we have asked for have proven to be durable and last throughout the school year.

Supplies:

1 roll of Scotch tape
8 black and white composition notebooks
4 sturdy folders with pockets
1 6X9 lined steno pad
2 bottles of Elmers Glue
15 glue sticks
4 boxes of crayons (Crayola is preferred) One box is to be kept at home to use for homework assignments.
5 boxes of #2 sharpenedpencils (at least 12 per box for a minimum of 60 pencils to start the year.)
