Welcome Letter and Supply List

August 11, 2017

Dear Parents and Guardians of 6th Graders on Team Legend,

We hope you have had a wonderful summer of learning, sleeping, playing and being. It is time to start thinking about school starting on August 30th. We know some of you are dying to hit those back to school sales, so below is a *supply list.

 

• Two 1-inch three-ring binders, two different colors; one for math and science, and one for social studies and language arts.  We recommend that you get good quality as many students have had their binders fall apart before the end of the year. Please DO NOT get the big 3” kind as they don’t fit into the cubbies and are difficult to tote around in backpacks.
• Two journals for LA (reading and writing) hard-covered marble type please
• A calculator for math and science (does not need to be fancy)

• A ruler with both inches and centimeters (clear ones work better) optional (we have many here)
• Pencils, pencils, pencils! (100 is not too few, but use your judgment)
• Pens
• Pencil Pouch
• Set of colored markers and colored pencils optional
• 4-8 pocket folders (we use often for project organizing)
• Lined notebook paper (just one small packet is probably enough)
• 2 sets of subject dividers

*We will have a few extra of all of the above and there will be a reuse zone of gently used items from last year

All students will be given a red assignment book at the beginning of the school year, which will be kept in their binders all year long. Students are required to use the assignment book.

This year, we are having a team welcome breakfast for parents and family members on THURSDAY morning (8/31) from 8-9. You can come any time after 7:30 am. We will provide juice, bagels and muffins. Bring your own coffee/tea if you want. You will get to meet Justin Wills and Ms. Lamb again and see the other parents. Pre-school kids are welcome.

Feel free to email us with any questions. We may be out of town for few days before school starts, but we will get back to you soon.

Sincerely,

Ms. Cate Lamb and Mr. Justin Wills
