Welcome to middle and high school. Most of us don’t care what they use. We want them to have paper, pencils or pens, and something to keep there things in where they can find them later.  Buy whatever is on sale or what your kid wants to help stay organized.  I’ll take your $100 but all they are getting is a spiral notebook, binder and a pack of pencils. [/quote]

+1. My Rising HS senior kid is starting a language immersion program taking place in a FCPS HS tomorrow— but not being offered by FCPS.  And the supply list is like— scissors, colored pencils, markers, glue stick….   She had a notebook, some pens and pencils, a folder for handouts and her laptop ready to go before they emailed this list— at 5:00 pm on 7/4. And she’s like— help— I’m going back to Elementary School.

The only time either of my kid has needed more than a notebook, a folder and writing implements is math (a graphic calculator and maybe graph paper) and some science labs (maybe a couple colored pencil and a lab notebook).

If you have a disorganized kid who doesn’t know where to start, I strongly recommend Strategies for Success. It’s the FCPS executive functioning elective and should be mandatory for 7th graders IMO. [/quote]
