School Supply List

School Supply List for 2026-27

Summer break just started, but we’re already thinking about next year.  All students will be provided with the essential instructional materials they need for learning —such as textbooks, paper, pencils, crayons, glue sticks, scissors, and more thanks to funding from the school and our dedicated, and supportive PTA.  Thank you in advance for sending the optional supplies in above list with your child at the beginning of the new school year.

Summer Playdates hosted by Medina PTA

This is optional, but a great way for students and parents to get to know each other before school begins.

Medina PTA is excited to host the annual back-to-school playdates! Get to know new friends, and meet up with friends from previous school years. Dates will be posted when made available.
