Optional supply fee instead of purchasing individual items below: $20
If you choose the supply fee option, you still need to supply your child's backpack and one set of headphones labeled with their name. Headphones move with your student from grade to grade so investing in a good pair is worthwhile!
1 backpack
1 set of good headphones (labeled)
24 #2 pencils—Ticonderoga are best!
1 box of 24 crayons
2 large pink erasers
1 large container of disinfectant wipes
2 large Expo white board markers (black or blue please)
1 box of assorted colored pencils
1 large hand sanitizer
1 box gallon Ziploc bags
1 box of sandwich bags
1 ream of white copy/printer paper- 8.5 x 11
4 large glue sticks
2 large boxes of 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 Blix Elementary 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, Blix Elementary, 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 Blix Elementary 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 Tacoma School District 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 Tacoma School District 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 Tacoma School District below.
