School Supply Lists

 

Grade level lists are now available at https://www.wcpss.net/domain/19923

 

PreK teachers will provide a wish list, but all items will be provided to students.

 

Students enrolled in EBS should use the supply list according to their grade level.

 

Kindergarten Information

 

Kindergarten students will begin school on a staggered entry schedule. This means that they will attend only one day of school from 10:00am to 2:30pm on either August 29, 30, 31, or September 1.  Parents will need to provide transportation to and from school.  This practice is extremely valuable to both teachers and students.  Students will be at school in small numbers to allow them to get to know the building and the Kindergarten teachers.  Teachers will be able to do some assessments and create balanced classes while getting to know the students. The first full day of school for all Kindergarten students is Tuesday, September 6.
