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.
