You are mean. I am not the OP but I need help too with this. My list had 3 items and I am not sure what else I need!

How do we know? Figure it out.

I hope the person who said cigarettes was kidding. I can't imagine sending those with my kindergartner! Shame on you.

I agree. I do give her some wine coolers, though. The kids love those colors!

Seriously. Wait until your kid is in 1st, at least.

Will the butlers carry in the backpacks for the new Somerset kindergartners?

We usually take the supplies to the open house at the school before the first day, and so there's not much to bring on Day 1 aside from the lunch, a sweatshirt in case it's cold in the classroom (depends on the A/C situation), and a change of clothes for a K kid.

People keep mentioning a change of clothes for K kids...is this something that goes in their backpack every day or will it be stored in the classroom somewhere (it was for my son's prek)? I just can imagine him lugging around a change of clothes each day.

My kids never had extra clothes in K (or were asked to bring them). I think the school keeps some if the unexpected happens. I would only do this if your child is really likely to need them.

No, K is fine with some bendy straws.

Seriously though - I bought all the supplies, and it seems like a lot to shove into a backpack. Do they need all hundred #2 pencils at school, or do I send a few at a time?

e sti

When my daughter started kindergarten, the list said 18 large glue sticks, and the class had run out of glue sticks by January. That's a lot of gluing.

If your kid shows up the first day without 100 sharpened pencils, he or she will be looking at a really tough year. And don't even think of showing up with less than 72 crayons IN EACH COLOR.

That's for private school.

Still waiting for guidance on whether DD will need 100 pencils and 6 glue sticks the first day. HELP.

Bring it all to open house, or bring in over the first few days. You don't keep the supplies at home to dole out.
