Dictionary / Thesaurus

We prefer, but don’t mandate, having an electronic dictionary to keep at school OR an iPod /
iPad with a dictionary/thesaurus/ translator App
NOTE: if purchasing an electronic dictionary, it should include a full-sized database of approximately
355,000 words, phrases and definitions (e.g., Sharp manufactures a few different full-sized electronic
dictionaries that are available for around $100 from Staples). Mini-dictionaries are also available for
around $60. Electronic dictionaries can be used through all three years at junior high.
Phys. Ed


1 pair of Non-Marking indoors shoes appropriate for athletic activities
T-shirt / shorts or sweatpants
NOTE: all students will be required to change for Phys. Ed in junior high
Textbooks

students will receive information regarding textbook rental fees at the beginning of the school
year. Some textbooks may also be available online for students to access at home.
*A NOVEL IS ALSO REQUIRED FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL*
Locks are supplied by the school
FINAL NOTE: it is a good idea to keep extra supplies at home for students to bring to school as
needed; having too many extra supplies stored in binders and lockers typically results in these
materials being lost, damaged and/or wasted. Disposable supplies such as pencils and paper will
likely need to be replenished throughout the year.
