[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a different sort of a question. I did not buy the kit. It isn't about the money. I also don't plan to put his name.  DS is the only child and I want to have fun going to the stores and buying supplies. I think it would be a fun activity.

So do I just drop off all the supplies on the first day of the school? I don't mind it, I just don't know if that's the norm.

Also how much will the teachers hate me for not buying the kit itself?

At our school the kids and parents are invited to meet the teacher and visit the classroom a few days before school starts.  The kits are waiting for those who ordered them (although this year the kits are being mailed to homes), and those who didn't buy the kits can bring their supplies then.  The parents and kids go through the supplies and put them in the appropriate bins and a few things in the child's assigned desk.  I think the teachers couldn't care less whether you get the kit, but there are suggested brands of some items to maintain uniformity.

I've noticed some pps complaining about the quality of supplies in their kits, but for the past 4 years the kits for my kids' classes have all contained high quality items.  I guess it's dependent on the school/PTA.[/quote]

I am 19:08. Thanks. I plan to buy the brands suggested in the list. So no issues there.

DS will go to Arlington Science Focus School. Don't know about the meeting with the teacher. [/quote]
