First day at MMS: what to bring?

Or will supply lists be posted on the mmhsa.org site before school starts?

First day, pen and notebook.

Pen and notebook is what we have done. The kids get lists from individual teachers/classes the 1st days of school and have a few days to get it all in order.

Thanks, y'all. Anxiety assuaged!

Maybe a book to read also, as sometimes they end up waiting around.

This, too.

I recommend buying some stuff ahead of time. After school has started the school supply section at Target is really sparse and the line at Staples is insane. I stock up on college ruled paper, pencils, highlighters, pens, and folders during August to make sure I can actually get them. Can't go wrong with a couple of 3 subject notebooks and a composition book or two either. When school starts I have my kids first "shop" from my pile of supplies and then I take them out to choose whatever is remaining.

Anything extra stays in our "homework drawer" for future use, but I really don't think we've had much (if any) waste.

I wouldn't buy binders because they are expensive and teachers can be very specific about 1" , 2", 3" etc.
