The district has released select classes' supply lists for grades Kindergarten through sixth. Here, you'll find the elementary supplies, broken down by school and grade. We'll have the middle school lists posted on Tuesday.

According to the district's website, additional teacher-specific supply lists will be mailed home with each child's class assignment later this month.
