Below is a list of the most common items your children need for 6th 
grade. Anything you can provide your child with ahead of time will be 
greatly appreciated. 
#2  mechanical pencils  - From experience, pencils that use #2 lead 
are preferred over the constant sharpening that is required from the 
ordinary pencils  
Storage for pencils, pens, etc. (zippered pencil case is 
preferred but boxes are acceptable)  
Erasers  
Ball Point Pen (blue or black) 
Colored Pencils  
Washable markers (set of 8)  
4 College ruled Notebooks (one for Language Arts 
Science/Social Studies, and Math)  
5 Pocket Folders (Please, NO Trapper Keepers/Binders � They are 
not recommended because of lack of space in the students� desks.)   
12" Ruler with metric and standard measurements  
Clear Back pack or book bag  
Highlighters   
Book covers � Math, Science, and Social Studies books must be 
covered and remain covered all year. This will be strictly 
enforced.  
Dictionary/Thesaurus (having one at home will be very helpful)
