Dear PreK Families,

Here is a list of supplies your child will need for their Prekindergarten school year. Please bring the items in bold prior to the first day of school so that your child does not have to carry them and so that they can be stored and prepared for the first day of school. They can be dropped off to the safety vestibule at the Main Street entrance between the hours of 9-3 pm. Everything should be labeled with your child’s name.

  • 1 regular-sized box of tissues
  • 1 pack of baby wipes
  • 1 container of Lysol disinfectant wipes
  • 1 pack of CRAYOLA brand watercolors
  • 1 pack of paper plates (100, 9 inch not coated, for crafts)
  • 1 pack of Scotch tape (Mills class only)
  • 1 pack of masking tape (Eidens class only)
  • 1 small, child-sized blanket for “Rest Time” labeled with name
  • A complete change of clothes in a Ziplock bag labeled with name (shirt, pants, underwear, socks) to be kept at school in case of accident or spill
  • A 4×6 family picture to be kept at school all year and returned in June
  • 1 package of Ziplock gallon sized storage bags (Mills class only)
  • 1 package of Ziplock sandwich sized storage bags (Eidens class only)
  • A plastic folder labeled with your child’s name.
  • A regular sized book bag that can fit a folder and lunch box (no wheels, diaper bags or mini book bags please) labeled with child’s name.                                              
  • A “kid friendly” insulated lunch box labeled with your child’s name.
  • A healthy snack and lunch which includes a reusable/refillable water bottle (labeled with name) to drink from each day. Please avoid “sticky” drinks such as soda, Gatorade, iced tea and other sugary drinks. Thermos and Camelbak brand bottles are great – economical, no spill, and easy to use!
     
    Please remember that we stress self-sufficiency in PreK. To further empower children to do things for themselves, we encourage clothing and shoes to be kid-friendly. For example, sweatpants, leggings, and other loose fitting clothes are great; please no belts, tricky fasteners, or dress up clothes (i.e., Princess dresses/plastic heels). As a safety precaution, Velcro sneakers are best; no dress-up shoes, flip flops, or sandals. Other items, such as lunch and drink containers, should also be easy for your child to open and close independently.

Thank you for your cooperation!
