Notes from Teachers

Supplies 2006-2007

Grades 6-8:  Please DO NOT BRING 3-ring binders or spiral-bound notebooks or any notebooks or notebook paper, with the exception of the black and white composition books used for tabbing in science, which are optional but not required.  ("The 100 page Meade composition books are usually on sale at Rite Aid for 3 for a dollar. Three is all the kids need for the year in science.  I supply notebooks, but the Mead 100 pages on sale are much better quality." --Mr. McWeeny)  Also, please DO NOT BRING pencil boxes--pencil bags are much better, as they take up less space.  You are welcome to bring pencils (we always run short of pencils), colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, scissors, glue sticks, and markers, though none of these are necessary--but, again, please have a zippered bag, not a box, to keep them in.  --Mr. McWeeny and Mr. Stillwell.

Grade 4-5: Each student should bring a supply of #2 pencils, a one subject notebook for writing, markers and highlighters.  Please choose your own assignment book for keeping track of your homework. --Mrs. McFadden

Kindergarten- First Grade: "
I am looking forward to the upcoming school year, and ever so anxious to greet my newest and youngest students in Kindergarten. I am equally thrilled to pick up again with the grade one, right where we left off in June.  I have missed them so.  We have a lot to look forward to. There are no specific school supplies your child will need in my classroom.  My room is equipped with enough glue sticks and “honey” crayons to last through the year.  I do, however, prefer that the children wear indoor shoes once they arrive at school.  It helps to protect our wooden floors and certainly keeps the dust and dirt to a minimum.  (We spend a lot of time on the floor!) Slippers are suitable.  Parents will receive a copy of our daily schedule during the first week of school.  Enjoy the remainder of these summer days with your children.  I am sure to hear all about their summertime adventures!  --Mrs. Lameyer
