School Supplies

For the high school student there is not a published list of school supplies. Every class will require some type of writing device and some paper to write on. Some may require a journal and notebook. Math at most levels will recommend a graphing calculattor. Gym clothing will be required for those enrolled in physical education.

Te best recommendation would be to get a pencil/pen and notebook with paper and listen to needs those first few days. There are numerous sales in the stores now. This is a good time to stock up on pens and paper. If you like spiral notebooks that is fine but in some classes you will need to turn in individual sheets and that is not as easy with a spiral notebook. The spiral ones are great for journal and class notes.

More and more class are moving to computer supported instruction. In many class the student can submit papers and homework via the Internet. The printer has replaced the tpewriter and reading assignments is much easier for all. The school will issue a planner than contracts all the rules and regulations but more importantly is a full calendar- day by day- for the student to keep track of due dates, dates and assignments. Some students are using their phones with calendars as a planner.

If there are specific questions check the teacher's web site or email your question to that teacher.
