I'm not sure what school supplies I'm going to need for grade 8 in September?
Response:
Greetings Person A,
From our experience, these are the school supplies which you will need in Grade 8:
- Two-four binders:
- One/two large binders (for Day 1 and one Day 2 subjects)
- Two small binders for Science and Math (optional, however these two subjects tend to be very handout heavy therefore a separate binder is helpful)
- Eight sturdy dividers (plastic ones work best)
- One scientific calculator (for Grades 8-9)
- One graphing calculator (for grades 10-12)
- Enough notebooks/loose-leaf paper to get you through the year (some courses such as Math may require multiple notebooks each term, however you electives likely will require less).
- A-lot-O' pencils (keep some in your pencil case as well as in your locker and binders. Pencils tend to sneak away when you're not looking!)
- One pencil case filled with:
- Pens
- Pencils
- Erasers
- A pencil sharpeners
- A ruler
- Etc.
- One deodorant stick (no aerosol) for PE class (thank you in advance for your courtesy)
- One sturdy backpack that will get you and your stuff to and from school (this is especially helpful if you walk or take public transit)
- One laptop/tablet is helpful (but not required)
Sincerely,
The Rockridge SOS Team
