School supplies 25-26

Updated: Jul 11

It's school supply season once again! We want to make sure all our students have the materials they need for successful learning this fall.


Please purchase your supplies by August 10, as we will ask that you bring them with you to back to school night (to be scheduled during the week of Aug 11-15). Scroll down to see which items will stay with your child (personal) and which items will be left with your teacher as a classroom supply.


Back to school sales have started. Shop in store or online early for the best deals and selection.


Telra strives to keep our school supply lists short and simple to minimize the cost to families. In general, it is fine to substitute brands. However, in a few places we have named specific brands and request you provide those if you can.
