James River Day School has relied on the support of our community since its founding. Partnerships with parents, grandparents, trustees, faculty and staff, alumni families, alumni, friends, and corporations have made it possible to provide our students with an unparalleled educational experience. Gifts to the Cardinal Annual Fund provide valuable operating support for all our programs.

Summer & Back to School
Summer & Back to School

Children need to stay engaged over the summer. James River offers numerous ways for children to have learning fun during the summer months. And, inevitably, summer ends and school begins again. School supply lists and other back-to-school information will be listed here as it becomes available.

School Supply Lists

The supply lists for the 2021-2022 school year are shown below. Don't forget, Virginia has a sales-tax-free weekend the first weekend in August to allow parents to purchase most school supplies without paying sales tax. For grades 5-8, the list of recommended Chromebooks is included on the supply list to assist parents in deciding which device to purchase for their child's use, should a new device be needed.
