SUPPLY LIST - 8th //**

All students are expected to have all supplies and to have textbooks covered at all times. Please be sure to buy enough book covers now to replace those that are bound to fall off over the course of the year. It is often easier to find them at this time of year. Please try to see that you have all the supplies listed below. All appropriate articles, including uniforms, shall be labeled. Book bags are to be used every day, to and from school. An assignment notebook is to be used to record all assignments; this is often provided by the school. Other materials may be needed throughout the year, but we have tried to be as comprehensive as possible here. book bag book covers pens (black/blue) scissors pencils highlighters dictionary* ruler crayons colored pencils/fine tip markers glue sticks calculator ** notebooks (school ruled, not college ruled) – if your child uses this paper to do their work to be passed in, the **//edges must//** be cut off **//plentiful supply of loose-leaf paper//** – this is the paper which should be used for assignments loose-leaf notebook is recommended for science pocket folders thesaurus compass protractor clear tape erasers Grade eight students may want to purchase bin in which to keep notebooks. No student will be allowed to leave books/notebooks lying around the room or on closet shelves. **Bins may not be larger than 12” x 10” x 8”.** Art supplies need to fit into your desk or into your bin. A pencil box is usually sufficient for this purpose. *A dictionary is needed for use in school by every eighth grade student. It really needs to be of good quality. In the past, students have had difficulty finding the words they need. They may be at a disadvantage in literature, vocabulary and religion classes if a good dictionary is not available to them. A paperback edition is fine; electronic dictionaries are not recommended. We strongly recommend The American Heritage Dictionary or its equivalent. **The calculator recommended for purchase in grade seven, Texas Instruments TI-34, is fine for use in grade eight. Other than calculators, students are not allowed to bring in or to use electronic items (e.g. cell phones, beepers, music players of any type, games, etc.) in the school building. We would appreciate two boxes of tissues from each student as we go through quite a bit in the course of the year.
