School Supplies for the 2026/2027 School Year

Purchasing school supplies is voluntary and not required for your child to attend school.  Below is a link to the suggested list of supplies from teachers that students will use throughout the school year.  In addition, some of these school supplies may be used as “community” supplies and shared with the entire class and some may be used by just your child.  Each grade level uses a combination of community supplies and individual supplies.  

If your family wishes to purchase school supplies, listed below are some different purchasing options you might consider. As always, we encourage the East Grand Rapids community to purchase their supplies from local vendors and stores that are homegrown in Michigan.  

• Purchase from 1st Day School Supplies (April 15 - July 1) with delivery to your home.
• Online shopping with delivery to your home or pick-up in-store -  Please use this suggested school supply list when purchasing online at local retail stores.
• Purchase in stores with this suggested classroom supplies list.
