Each year, when identifying supplies needed for the year, we reflect on making sure we are keeping with our beliefs of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” to be both environmentally and fiscally responsible. The cost of supplies covers a variety of items purchased throughout the school year to enhance the school’s curriculum. Below is a list of illustrate items purchased with these funds:
- Classroom supplies, including notebooks, markers, pencils etc
- Specialist supplies including paint, canvas, PE sports equipment, supplies for science and the Eco Center
- Specific curriculum-related supplies, including materials for grades and special projects - Kindergarten - book babies, 1st grade neighborhood study, 2nd grade culminating projects and events such as 1st grade neighborhood study 2nd grade NYC Study, 3rd grade Japan Study, 4th grade Cyber Safety, 5th grade health education, Peer Mediation training, various seating to support student learning, fidget tools to assist students
- Subscriptions to online curriculum for students and resources for teachers - eSpark, Learning Ally, Ruler.
By collecting the funds at the beginning of the year, the school has the flexibility to quickly respond to emerging requests and allow instruction to continue unimpeded. These funds, collected by the PTA, are the main source of supplies for the school and eliminate the need for individual class supply list or wish list.
This year we have a budget of $225 per child (this was reflected in the budget the PTA passed at the June meeting). This includes all the school supplies for the year and your child’s class t-shirt.
