School supplies for the 2026–27 school year

What your child needs depends on their grade. TK–2nd families buy from their teacher’s class list. Grades 3–5 contribute $30 per student and the teacher buys the classroom supplies — here’s what you still need to pack, and the long list you can skip.

Fundraising

Give to our Back to School Giving Challenge

This year, we are challenging our community to start strong by getting at least 100 families signed up for monthly recurring donations to the Annual Fund & raising $30,000 during our Back-to-School Giving Challenge. A recurring gift of any amount provides reliable support throughout the year and helps the PTO plan ahead with confidence.
