Revolution Academy Supply Lists 6-8

Dear Families, to help your child thrive in the classroom, please gather the supplies listed in the top box if your child is in 6th or 7th grade before the first day of school. Please label items with your child’s name and bring them to open house.

For all 6-8 families, having the right materials ready helps us spend more time learning. Please follow grade level supply item specifications carefully – brands, sizes, and types are chosen to meet classroom needs. All students will need a backpack (no wheels, 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!

Specials Supplies

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” . All donations will be shared across our 6 Specials classrooms as community supplies. Thank you so much for your generosity! 😊
