Bring it all to open house, or bring in over the first few days. You don't keep the supplies at home to dole out.

If your kid shows up the first day without 100 sharpened pencils, he or she will be looking at a really tough year. And don't even think of showing up with less than 72 crayons IN EACH COLOR.

When my daughter started kindergarten, the list said 18 large glue sticks, and the class had run out of glue sticks by January. That's a lot of gluing.

Seriously. Wait until your kid is in 1st, at least.


No, K is fine with some bendy straws.

My kids never had extra clothes in K (or were asked to bring them). I think the school keeps some if the unexpected happens. I would only do this if your child is really likely to need them.

People keep mentioning a change of clothes for K kids...is this something that goes in their backpack every day or will it be stored in the classroom somewhere (it was for my son's prek)? I just can imagine him lugging around a change of clothes each day.

We usually take the supplies to the open house at the school before the first day, and so there's not much to bring on Day 1 aside from the lunch, a sweatshirt in case it's cold in the classroom (depends on the A/C situation), and a change of clothes for a K kid.

Will the butlers carry in the backpacks for the new Somerset kindergartners?

I agree. I do give her some wine coolers, though. The kids love those colors!

You are mean. I am not the OP but I need help too with this. My list had 3 items and I am not sure what else I need!


How do we know? Figure it out.
