School Supply Ideas

Dear Northwood Parents,

Listed below are supplies that each grade level suggests students bring to class this fall. These suggested lists have been compiled based on needs identified to support of the delivery of grade-level curriculum. Please note that the Constitution of the State of California requires that we provide a public education to you free of charge. Your right to a free education is for all school/educational activities, whether curricular or extracurricular, and whether you get a grade for the activity or class. Subject to certain exceptions, your right to a free public education means that we cannot require you or your family to purchase materials or supplies for any school activity. Therefore, while this list suggests that students bring a number of items, they are considered voluntary. No student will be restricted from participation if they are not sent to school.

(If shopping at Office Depot, please use Northwood Elementary School’s Office Depot ID #70009075 at the check-out counter. This will ensure that Northwood will get a 5% sales credit for each of these purchases).
