6th Grade Supply List for Core Classes
If you’re unable to provide any supplies, please feel free to contact Ms. Consiglio, 6th grade math teacher, and she’ll be happy to make it work for your student. Also, if you send anything ‘extra’ from our Wish List, those can be delivered to Ms. Consiglio in Room 26 and we’ll share them amongst our classes and students.

A Note About Trappers or Binders for 6th Graders
If your student would like to use a trapper keeper or a huge binder to put all their notebooks and folders into as a means of being organized and carrying it from class to class, that’s great! And, although these tools can help with organization, we find that sometimes they’ll simply become a place to ‘shove’ everything (like that elementary school desk), rather than using each subject’s folder to keep organized, resulting in misplaced assignments, study tools, notes home, etc.. So, please be sure to have a conversation about these tools (e.g., their usage and whether or not they are necessary) with students to help them decide what will work best for them to be even more successful. (Note, the 1-inch binder listed above is a completely separate supply for Math classes.)
