5th Grade Supply List
*Arizona law requires that public schools provide supplies required for academic success. This list represents optional, supplementary items which you may supply, at your discretion. If you need assistance with school supplies, please contact your child’s teacher - we are happy to help ensure that your child has everything he or she needs to be successful.
***Please reach out to us if you need help getting any supplies.
