[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids pre-k list is all cleaning supplies: no markers, no crayons, no pencils. Why can the school provide those things, but not cleaning supplies? (Or, worse, they won't be using those things?)[/quote] Probably because Pre-K school supplies are all communal. Starting in K, each child has their own school box of supplies they use. Cleaning supplies (Lysol wipes, real paper towels etc.) are not allowed to be purchased with the school's educational supplies budget. There are a lot of spills and other messes that get taken care of directly by the teacher without having to call in a building services worker. The teacher has probably used all of his/her educational supply budget money to have enough markers, crayons, pencils and paper to last throughout the year, and would like families to help provide other necessary classroom supplies without having to purchase them all on his/her own.
