School Supplies for 2024-2025 School Year
We partner with 1st Day School Supplies to have kits prepared with all the required grade level supplies your student needs for the school year. All you have to do is order and they’ll do the rest. They are delivered directly to the school in August and will be distributed to your student’s classroom waiting for them!
Order here: https://1stdayschoolsupplies.com/kits.php?sid=50991
We will also send flyers home after we receive them and of course send out additional reminders before ordering closes in July.
NOTE: If you purchased a kit last year, the company sent out a mass email letting you know kits are available for purchase for the 2024-2025 school year. The email isn’t spam, so you’re free to use the link there or the link here to order again. 😊
