Middle School Supply Lists

Valwood Middle School Supply List for 2018-2019

Below are the minimum supplies needed to begin Middle School. Teachers may ask for inexpensive additional items after the school year begins, but this will help you get organized and started. We will ask you in January to restock some of their supplies for 2nd Semester, if needed.

NOTE: Please do not bring rolling book bags unless you have a documented medical reason. We do not have storage room for these in our building, and they will not fit in the lockers.

Take binder with paper or subject notebook, pencils, pens, case/pouch, and other supplies needed with you to each class every day. You may not need to carry all the pencils, pens, glue sticks, or other supplies with you on the first day, make sure to take some and keep the extras in your locker for when you do need them.
