The following are suggested supplies for students to be successful with virtual learning. These supplies should be kept at home.
The folders are for student use to help organize any paper materials they may be using throughout the year. Any organization system that is helpful to the student is fine.
At times, many students find small/medium whiteboards or chalkboards as a helpful alternative to pencil and paper.
High school students should have an idea of the supplies that help them learn best. They will need paper and pencil at a minimum, especially for math. Although work will all be turned in online, we encourage creativity in assignments, so they may want to use other materials like colored paper, scissors, glue sticks, colored pencils, markers, etc.
