[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the bookstore open during the summer (if we wanted to stock up on STA gym clothes, etc.).

The kids will be taken over the first day to buy their gym clothes, so you don't need to stock up on anything.  The clothes will be charged to their student account.

For that matter, don't buy any of the school books in advance.  STA will give you a list of books the children will use next year, but the kids will be taken over to the bookstore on the first day to buy everything they need (again charged to their account).

STA sort of overwhelms you with all those papers of what you need the first day.  But you really don't need to bring in everything the first day (and it's impossible for your child to carry, anyway).  For example, although they will need 4 pads of notebook paper (or whatever) you certainly don't need all that paper going in the door the first day.  Same with pencils and the rest.  You can have them bring in enough to start.

Best advice:  label your boy's blazers.  Mine lost two last year.  We got them both back because his name was inside.[/quote]
