Dear Parents and Students Grades 6 – 12,
With all the school supplies available to students, buying supplies can turn from a simple task to one more daunting. However a few tips and some common sense can help you overcome the myriad of supplies and transform you into a student groomed for success. Here are a few suggestions.
Think quality. When you are looking at school supplies look at the quality of the items. Will the folders rip or tear in your backpack? Is the spiral wire bound to come undone when you are using a notebook? If you buy supplies that don't last you through the year, you will become disorganized. Make sure that what you are buying will stand up to some wear and tear.
Choose your pens and pencils wisely. If possible, test them before you buy. This can save you time and trouble when you go to write. Once you find one style you like, buy multiples so you don't run out, or have a replacement for a lost utensil. Buy pens in blue and black for writing. Most teachers correct in another color (such as red, green, orange, etc.) , and thus prefer for students to use black or blue ink. Retractable lead pencils are ideal for students eliminating an extra step and tool.
Since San Augustine High School does not provide a list of required items, use common sense. You will need a notebook or binder for most subjects, as well as a folder. Some courses may require special materials (i.e. a graph paper or lab notebook). In these cases it may be best to consult with a teacher. Friday, August 22, at the Meet The Teacher night will provide this opportunity.
We look forward to seeing you there!
