[quote=Anonymous]OP, Buy a cute backpack and lunchbox for your kid.  Ask them to pick up the one they want (design and look) and make sure that they are of good quality, so they do not fall apart, midway through the school year.
 
Most schools will expect your child to bring to school the following things -
1) 2 composition books of different color cover
2) Box of crayons
3) Blunt tip, kid safe, scissors
4) Gluestick
5) Pencil box
6) 2 different color, vinyl folders
7) Pencils (not mechanical)
8) Eraser
9) Pencil sharpener

You need to write your child's name on all of these things.

Other than that there is nothing needed.

I tend to give my kids a clip-on hand-sanitizer as well to clip to the backpack. I send with her a small flat box of clorox wipes, incase her chair or desk is not clean.

You can also buy to keep at home the following supplies -
1) Pencils, crayons, sharpener, eraser, pencil-box
2) Construction paper, scissors that cut in different patterns, colored markers - broad and fine tipped, stickers, glue-sticks
3) Storage cart to store all these things
4) Composition books
5) Cursive writing workbook

I buy the following supplies from costco to send to the teacher, but I do not send everything at once - because if they have too much supplies, they will share it with other classrooms.  At orientation I will ask the teacher what they need.
1) Tissue paper boxes
2) Lysol spray
3) Ziplock bags - Gallon sized as well as sandwich bags
4) Clorox wipes.
5) Liquid hand soap.
