Acadia Middle School - Grade 8 Supply List

The Middle Schools have made a concerted effort to minimize supply cost.  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 8th grade classes (Math, Social Studies, English, Science, LOTE, and Technology/Health).  The second section is a list of items that have likely been used in 6th and 7th grade (you may already have these supplies).  The final section includes special notes and accelerated courses.   There may be other supplies required throughout the year.
