School Supply Lists

The supply lists for the 2022-2023 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.
