[quote=Anonymous]It’s going to vary by school and grade.

Some schools supply tech for all students; some supply it for younger kids (iPads or chromebooks) but not for older kids but still require they bring their own; some don’t supply anything and may or may not require anything. Example: our k-8 provided chromebooks; our HS requires that students have laptops but does not provide them - although you can purchase them at a group discount through the school.

Some schools supply all books and materials, others only supply some or none or have additional lab or material fees for certain science or art classes. These can also vary by division (general more is included for younger kids where there is less differentiation and costs can be evenly distributed; by high school, class selection can significantly affect costs of books and materials so they are less likely to be included). Again, our k-8 provided all books and materials. For HS, we have to purchase books for some classes but not all, and there are lab fees for some sciences.

There may be optional trips your child wants to go on during spring or summer break. There may be costs for sports equipment or uniforms. [/quote]
