What supplies will my child need for learning?

Please find the school supply list for our students here.  The number of supplies on the list have been reduced to keep costs down for families. 

Parents/Guardians: Please help your child by replenishing supplies during the year as needed. Please contact our Student Services Ofc Mrs. Erin Clark Erin_Clark@hcpss.org for assistance with supplies and backpacks.

What calculator will my child need for math?

The graphing calculator is an important technology tool used in Howard County mathematics courses beginning with Algebra 1 and extending through the end of the course sequence. Although digital graphing tools are available online and will be used at various times in middle and high school math courses, students are best served by having a personal graphing calculator such as the TI-84 Plus CE (rechargeable) graphing calculator. Students who go on to take mathematics courses in college will likely be able to use the same calculator for college coursework. Note that students are permitted to use a graphing calculator on the SAT, ACT and Advanced Placement mathematics exams. Arrangements can also be made to borrow a graphing calculator from school through your child’s mathematics teacher.

I need translation or an interpreter?

If your home language is Spanish and need assistance, please reach out to our Hispanic Liaison, Melissa Barney Montoya at  melissa_barney_montoya@hcpss.org   If you need assistance in other languages please use the link below.
