Water Bottle: Encourage your child to stay hydrated by providing them with a reusable water bottle. We have water refill stations available on campus. 3. Lunchbox: If your child prefers to bring a packed lunch from home, a lunchbox or a bag to keep their meal fresh is essential. 4.

We will also have additional safety measures in place throughout the school premises. Optional Supplies: For those who wish to contribute beyond the essentials, any of the following optional supplies would be greatly appreciated creating a more interactive and engaging classroom environment: 1. Tissues and Disinfectant Wipes: These items greatly assist in maintaining a clean and sanitized classroom, especially during flu season. 2. Extra Pencils and Pens: Students inevitably lose or misplace their writing instruments, so having additional pencils and pens on hand ensures a continuous learning experience. 3. Art Supplies: Various art supplies, such as colored pencils, markers, and paints, contribute to our students' creativity and enhance their artistic skills. 4. Classroom Materials Donation: If you would like to contribute to the classroom's overall supplies, a monetary donation or gift cards to local office supply stores would be greatly appreciated. It is important to note that while we strive to provide a rich and engaging learning environment, we also value accessibility and inclusivity. If you find any financial constraints in acquiring the necessary supplies for your child, please do not hesitate to contact our school office. We have resources available to assist families in need. Thank you, parents and guardians, for your continuous support and dedication to your child's education. Together, we can ensure a successful and fulfilling academic year for all our students. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Warm regards, [Teacher's Name] [School Name] Montgomery, Maryland.
