ASSUMPTION ST. BRIDGET SCHOOL

STUDENT SUPPLY LIST

GRADE 7 – 2007-2008

 

Please save this list and have these supplies on the first day of school.

 

Recognizing that the same organizational system does not work for all students, we’d like you to take some time to think about your own approach to organization.  Which of these systems seems like the best match for you?  Whichever system you choose, it needs to provide places for you to keep a supply of loose-leaf paper as well as these items for each subject:

1.        Handouts and other papers that need to be saved

2.       Completed homework that has been graded and returned to you

3.       Homework that needs to be turned in

 


Option 1:

A 3-ring binder (or Trapper-Keeper) with dividers for each subject


Option 2:

An accordion file (File-o-Flex) with tabs for each subject


Option 3:

Separate folders (with pockets) for each subject

 


Decide which system will work best for you, and purchase only the materials that you will need for that system.  If you have another system that doesn’t fit one of these options, feel free to use it, as long as it meets the needs listed above.

 

Whichever system you choose, you will also need these materials.  Label all supplies with your name.  Replace supplies as needed throughout the year.
