School Supplies

Supply lists for students in grades K-6 for the 2023-24 school year are listed here. These lists are shorter than they have been in previous years because the district budget includes about $20,000 worth of supplies that, in years past, were provided by parents.

Supply needs for students in grades 7-12 vary by student schedule. During the first week of school, teachers will tell these students about any supplies they should have for the courses they enroll in. Parents of students in grades 7-12 looking to get a jump start on school supply shopping should consider items their child might need for any class, depending on the child’s studying and organization habits: notebooks, binders, folders, pens, pencils, etc.

Supplies for pre-K students are provided by the school through the grant that funds Broadalbin-Perth's pre-K program.
