[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are grown now, but I agree that the supply lists from MCPS were out of control.  What was worse is the school would send supply lists over the summer and[b] then the teachers would change them. [/b]Once, I specifically waited and asked the assigned teacher about the supply list, only to get a revised list the first day. It’s not as though something revolutionary had been invented during the interim.  I would expect that a basic supply list would be fairly predictable and reusable year after year. However, if you can’t provide a supply list until the first day of school, just tell parents that instead of making them buy two different sets of supplies. [/quote]

MCPS has a policy that only certain items (and certain amounts) can be placed in the supply list. All other non-approved items may then be placed on a “wish list.” For this upcoming year, folders were removed from the supply list. Teachers can’t ask for folders to be placed on the approved supply list. However, almost all upper elementary students will need and use folders. We can only ask them for them on the “wish list” which isn’t allowed to be shared until school resumes. It’s not that teachers are changing the list, but rather MCPS and administrators dictate what is allowed on the official back-to-school list. [/quote]
