A lot of the middle schools will just post generic lists on their websites, so check there. In addition, teachers often give out lists at orientation.

This. You won't get a specific list until all the supplies are virtually gone in stores. It's super annoying. Each teacher likes different binders/folders, some have specific colors, specific notebooks, etc.

Get pens, pencils, highlighters, markers, erasers, glue sticks, scissors, and pouches to keep the stuff in. I'd buy 3-ring binders in various sizes, dividers. And the 3 subject notebooks (most of my kid's teachers wanted these for their classes), and a few folders. If you overbuy you can always return. But once their gone, their gone and you're relegated to online.

Have you actually had a middle or high school teacher care about the color of the folder? Or want scissors and glue sticks? I have not bought those since the pta kits in elementary school.

Yes, I actually have Mr./Mrs. Snarkypants. I have one just finishing MS and, yes, all of those were things we had to buy/were considerations for buying

To add: These were not things we needed for DL, obv. But did for 7th grade.
