Please note--there is NOT a supply list for high school students.
All 6-12th grade students need a chromebook bag. They brought their bag home at the end of the school year and need to bring it back to technology pick up (9-12 grade) or first day of school (6-8). If your child lost or has a damaged bag, you can purchase one on your own.
