Dear Student and Family,
I hope that you are having a wonderful summer and excited to begin a new school year. At The Emerson School we are looking forward to sharing a terrific year with you. We know that you are eager to get your school supplies together, so we prepared a school supply list to get you started.
The basics
No. 2 pencils
Colored pencils
Pencil sharpener (hand-held with a top to collect shavings)
Eraser
Ballpoint pens
Highlighters
6 composition notebooks
Loose-leaf notebook paper (Teachers can be picky about paper. Some middle schools ask that students use the college-ruled variety.)
A ruler with English and metric measurements
Organizational helpers
2 inch binder
A pencil case that fits in a binder
Binder dividers (The kinds with pockets are good for loose papers.)
Pocket folders
Folders that fit in binders
A small notebook to record assignments
Jump Drive
A calendar for scheduling assignments
A sturdy supportive backpack
Study aids
Index cards, ruled and unruled (These are great for making flash cards.)
Highlighters
A calculator
A protractor
**This is a general list to get started. Once school starts, teachers may have specific supplies they need. **
