Here's my 5th graders basic list:

2 packs of wide-lined NOTEBOOK PAPER
6 (3-prong) Pocket Folders (Color Assort.)
2 Composition Books
2 packs (10 or more) #2 Pencils
(please, no MECHANICAL pencils) *this is killing my 5th grader, he loves his mechanical pencils!!!*
1 pack (Blue or Black) Pens
(please, no GEL pens)
2 Glue Sticks
1 Scissors
2 boxes of Tissues
4 Dry Erase Markers (Broad Tip)
(please, BASIC colors and Black)
1 large Pencil Eraser
3 Book Covers
2 Highlighters
1 pack of Colored Pencils (12 or more)
1 box (Gallon-size) Zip Bags-GIRLS
1 box of (Sandwich-size) Zip Bags-BOYS
5th Grade UNIFIED ARTS Classes
1 box of Tissues BOYS
1 box of Zip-Seal Bags GIRLS
* THIS IS ONLY A BASIC LIST *
Each TEAM may provide a more detailed
list when school begins…

Translate that into each team WILL provide a more detailed list!

Now, we learned last year that there's really no such thing as a supply list for high school. Some teachers may specify a certain size notebook or binder, but for the most part they decide how to manage their supply needs for classes and personal use. Of course, about a week into school our oldest realized that the huge zip binder was a pain to haul around school all day and went with a poly accordian type thing.
