*Schools may determine the designated items above but may not request specific brands for any item.

Schools may subtract an item from the list based on assessed needs. Items may be substituted if they are already included on the list. For example, a classroom teacher may prefer for first-grade students to bring 2 glue sticks and 2 boxes of crayons rather than 3 glue sticks and 1 box of crayons. Please remember that items may not be added to the list.

Families will only be asked to provide these fundamental items at the beginning of the school year. Teachers should submit any needed items that are not on the list to the principal for purchase.

1. Principals consult with teachers/teams to customize designated items on the Fundamental Supply List.

2. Schools send lists to families through multiple methods (e.g., mail, email, social media) as soon as possible.

3. Principals collect teachers’ lists of items needed for classrooms that are not on the Fundamental Supply List.

4. Principals review the lists and order needed items, consistent with their school’s School-Based Decision Making (SBDM) policies.

5. Principals should contact their area assistant superintendent’s office if they need to further examine budgets in order to purchase supplies to support classrooms.

• Wish‐list items should not be requested from families. These may be submitted to the principal along with any other needed items not on the Fundamental Supply List.

• If a teacher has a special project during the year, a project list may be sent home for donations. For example, if a class is planting a garden, a project list might include seed packets, a watering can, and a trowel. A family may make a donation to this project.

• Board Policy 09.15 states, “The Principal shall review any supply lists or written requests for supplies to be purchased by parents prior to such lists or written requests being sent to parents.”
