Acadia Middle School - Grade 6 Supply List

The Middle Schools have made a concerted effort to minimize supply costs. All supply lists have been developed to have a total cost of less than $50, not including the materials that will be used all three years (section 2). The supply lists below have been broken into three sections. The first section lists the supplies needed for regular 6th grade classes (Math, Social Studies, English, Science, Music, Art/FACS, and Technology). The second section is a list of items that will likely be used in 6th, 7th and 8th grade (keep these supplies for all three years). The final section includes special notes. There may be other supplies required throughout the year.
