School Supply Lists

Student Art

The following lists represent the supplies your child needs for a good school year beginning. However, these items may need to be replenished occassionally. Elementary students may be required by their teacher to provide additional items. The cost of these items are not to exceed a total cost of $3.00. In addition, from time to time, you may be asked to make small donations to help your school provide culturally enriching programs and field trips.

S.O.S. "Sharing Of Supplies" is a program whereby students may purchase extra supplies and leave them at the Principal's office in order to help children less fortunate.

The Boise School District encourages re-use of school supplies when possible.
