Revolution Academy Supply Lists K-5

Dear Families, to help your child thrive in the classroom, please gather the supplies listed below before the first day of school.

Please label items with your child’s name and bring them to open house. Having the right materials ready helps us spend more time learning. Please follow item specifications carefully —brands, sizes, and types are chosen to meet classroom needs. All students will need a backpack (no wheets, please). In addition to the general supply list, each family is asked to contribute shared classroom supplies based on their child’s last name. These contributions make a big difference for everyone — thank you in advance for your support!

We’d love your help stocking our Specials classrooms! Please consider donating the items listed below for your child’s grade level. When sending supplies in, please either label each item with “SPECIALS” or place them in a separate bag labeled “SPECIALS” .
