Grade Six Supplies for 2017-18 School Year

UPDATED: June 1, 2017

By the time school supply lists are issued in August, many great sales have passed you by! So that you can get a jump on those sales, here's the sixth grade supply list for the upcoming school year. Please note that these are supplies that are needed ALL YEAR; they are often depleted and/or lost during the year. If this occurs, the supply will NEED to be replenished. A good idea is to buy extra now while everything is on sale, keep a small stock pile at home, and your student will have replacements directly at hand.


These are supplies that students need to have ALL YEAR LONG. If a student loses, breaks, or runs out of a supply, he/she will need a replacement.
