I've never seen this. I write names on the outside of the boxes and folders. That's it.

I’ve had requests to NOT label. Certainly never been asked to label everything individually. Are you sure you read the instructions correctly?

Same in FCPS. During open house, everyone takes their supply box and fills up the classroom supplies

What county OP?
I label stuff like lunchbox, outerwear, etc but not individual supplies. We are mcps.
I wouldn’t do it personally.

Every marker and pencil? I have no idea why. I’ve never heard of anyone requiring that.

Can those of you who are/were teachers explain the reasoning? I can’t imagine a teacher actually checking the name on every stray crayon or marker that winds up on the floor. And why label paper towels, tissues, and other things that will be pooled?
Not complaining, just genuinely curious.
?? Just because you can’t imagine something doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen???

Asking a question constitutes nitpicking? I hope you’re not a teacher.
