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 8th grade classes (Math, Social Studies,
English, Science, LOTE, 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.
