Beginning September 2008, Shenendehowa has prepared a district-wide supply list for elementary schools that includes district-supplied items and parent-supplied items. This is an effort to regulate the amount of supplies that parents have to purchase at the beginning of the year. Substitutions or eliminations are permitted by grade level in each school. Listed below is the parent-supply list for the 2008-09 school year. Brand quality is important.  Examples of the brands requested are listed below. Crayola Crayons—not Rose Art Ticonderoga Pencils (the sharpeners seem to “eat” the less expensive brands) Ziploc bags (they are sturdier than other bags). This is supplies from the master list that are needed by Okte. Teachers should or will not ask families for any additional items, but may remove some items from the general family supply list. Teachers feel that it is a motivating (and parent/child bonding) experience to allow students to pick out their own items in a store.   Teachers would also like to be able to set-up a school supply giving tree during parent conferences or at Open House. They will provide a list of items they need for the classroom and parents would have the option of supplying these additional items.  Participation is strictly voluntary.
