First Grade School Supplies List

Gaston County students are not required to bring any supplies with them to school in order to access our educational programs. If you would like to purchase personal supplies for your child, this list may act as an optional guide. While the following items are not requirements, donations by parents, businesses, civic organizations or faith-based organizations are always greatly appreciated.

Pencils
Pencil cap erasers
Colored Pencils
Crayons
Glue sticks
Notebook paper
Notebooks (spiral & composition)
Folders with & without brads
Quart & gallon size baggies
Facial tissues

In addition, you can always build a starter kit of first grade school supplies and add to it as needed before the school year begins.

The first grade teachers at Bessemer City Primary will typically update their school supplies list on a yearly basis, we try to update this list accordingly however we advise you to check with your child's first grade teacher and double check with the school, Bessemer City Primary, to see if there have been any changes to this year's first grade supply list.

A couple of things to keep in mind when ordering your first grade supplies, consumable school supplies tend to run out long before the school year ends so take advantage of the back to school offers and stock up on the basic supplies, your child's first grade teacher at Bessemer City Primary will thank you for that, and more importantly, your child's presence is the most important thing, the supplies are second to that and your teacher will be more than understanding if you are unable to purchase all of the supplies on the list. Have a wonderful, safe and happy school year!

Be sure to order plenty of hand sanitizer and due to recent events, it is more important than ever to stay in touch with Gaston County Schools to find news and any schedule changes that may take place.

One of the most important pieces of information for you every school year is the Gaston County Schools District Academic Calendar. There, you will find your child's schedule for the entire school year including holidays, staff development days, half days, testing days, first and last day of school, etc. See the calendar for Gaston County Schools below.

5 Things to Know as a new academic year begins in Gaston County Number 1: Blended model for teaching and learning

The first day of school is Monday, August 17. Our teachers, school administrators, and other personnel are committed to providing quality teaching and learning for students.

Gaston County Schools will operate under the state reopening plan referred to as Plan B, which is a blended model of in-person instruction at school and remote learning at home.

Students whose last name begins with A-K (referred to as Group A) will attend school on Monday and Tuesday and engage in remote learning on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Students whose last name begins with L-Z (referred to as Group B) will engage in remote learning on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and attend school on Thursday and Friday.

All students will be involved in remote learning on Wednesday (no students at school). This allows for deep cleaning between Group A and Group B attending school for the week and gives staff time for planning and professional development.

Number 2: Technology and learning at home

Parents with concerns about sending their child(ren) to school for in-person instruction had the opportunity to enroll in the Gaston County Virtual Academy, the school district online school that is beginning its fourth year. The students will engage in full remote learning five days a week and be taught by local, certified teachers who are employed by Gaston County Schools.

More than 7,000 students chose to attend the Virtual Academy - this represents about 23 percent of the school districts total student population based on 31,000 students.

To support remote learning at home, the district is making a Chromebook computer available to every student. The district has installed outdoor WiFi access points at high schools to aid in providing Internet access for families. Technicians are working now on installing outdoor WiFi access points at middle schools and elementary schools.

Number 3: Health screenings and temperature checks

When arriving at school each day, students and staff will participate in a temperature check and health screening. The health screening form includes questions about COVID-19 symptoms, exposure, and diagnosis. Students and staff will be required to wear a mask/face covering while at school. Each student and staff member will receive five face masks that are washable and reusable.

Number 4: Inside the school

The school classroom will look different for students. Desks and other furniture have been placed six feet apart, signs about social distancing, handwashing, masks/face coverings, good hygiene, etc. have been placed throughout the building, and floor markings are in place to guide the flow of students/staff as they move through the building.

The classroom also becomes the place where students will eat their breakfast and lunch meals. On days when students are at home for remote learning, a meal can be picked up at their school through the district grab and go nutrition program.

Number 5: School buses

There are 211 buses in the Gaston County Schools fleet. Social distancing is required on school buses, which means the number of students allowed to ride the bus at one time will be limited. A standard-size bus will be able to transport 20-24 students (depending on the number of seats) at one time.

A temperature check/health screening will be conducted when students board the school bus in the morning. The health screening form includes questions about COVID-19 symptoms, exposure, and diagnosis. Parents are encouraged to accompany their child(ren) to the bus stop to aid in the health screening process.

Buses will be used first to pick up elementary school students. Buses start rolling at 6:15 a.m. to complete the elementary school routes. Elementary schools begin at 7:30 a.m. (unless otherwise noted). Once elementary school routes are complete, buses will be used to pick up students for middle schools and high schools, which begin classes at 8:30 a.m. (unless otherwise noted). In the afternoons, elementary schools dismiss at 2:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted), and middle schools and high schools dismiss at 3:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted).

Buses will be cleaned/disinfected between routes. Parents will receive information from their childs school about bus routes, pick-up and drop-off times, etc.
