Beginning September 2009, Shenendehowa has prepared  district-wide supply list guidelines for elementary schools. Click here to view. This is an effort to regulate the amount of supplies that parents have to purchase at the beginning of the year. Kindergarten Supply List Welcome to kindergarten at Shatekon!  We hope you will find the following details helpful in making your child’s first year happy and successful.  The following items should be brought to school on your child’s first day. 1 Box of Jumbo Crayola Crayons 1 Box of Dixon Ticonderoga #2 sharpened pencils 1 Pack of Block Erasers (pink or gum) Last names A-M a box of Thick Crayola Markers Last names N-Z a box of Thin Crayola Markers 1 Recent, close up picture of your child (that we will trim to 2”x2”) for our word wall. Last names A-E a box of Ziploc Freezer bags- gallon size Last names F-J a box of Ziploc Sandwich Bags Last names K-R a large box of tissues Last names S-Z unlined index cards 2 large glue sticks (NOT LIQUID GLUE) 2 sturdy, laminated folders with 2 pockets at the bottom Except for the folders, all supplies will be shared with the entire class.  Therefore, it is not necessary to label items with your child’s name. ACTIVITY FEE- We will be doing a few activities throughout the year that may require teachers to pay for supplies (i.e. field trips, baking, celebrations, art projects, etc).  We will be asking for a small fee per child as we get closer to the actual date of each activity or project. BACKPACKS- Please be sure your child carries a backpack to school everyday.  The backpack must be large enough to hold a snack, clothing and large craft projects, and should be easy for your child to open and close.  REMEMBER…a simple zipper and a large backpack work best! SNACK- Every child is responsible for bringing his/her own snack from home.  We suggest that parents send a small juice box or refillable juice container your child can open and close independently.  Please limit the amount of food you send to school in order to allow your child to move onto the next activity after a short nutritional snack break.  Please DO NOT send items such as candy, cookies, brownies or soda.  Suggestions include: vegetable sticks, fruit, crackers, yogurt, cheese, etc.   LABELING- Please label your child’s name on his/her backpack, snack bag and outer wear.
