Middle and Senior School Supplies and Textbooks

Middle and senior teachers will communicate with students in the first week of school to clarify any requested/required items based on their classroom and subject needs.

On the first day/week, students should come equipped with basic writing supplies (notepad/paper, pencil case, pencil, pens, erasers, etc.) Middle School students should also bring a small whiteboard and whiteboard markers. Please purchase any required textbooks prior to the first day of school, with the exception of the French textbooks.  These should be purchased after the first week of school once classes have been confirmed.
