The Kindergarten Teachers
Go Tigers!
Build a starter kit of kindergarten school supplies and add to it as needed before the school year begins.
The kindergarten teachers at Los Alamitos 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 kindergarten teacher and double check with the school, Los Alamitos Elementary, to see if there have been any changes to this year's kindergarten supply list.
A couple of things to keep in mind when ordering your kindergarten supplies, comsumable 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 kindergarten teacher at Los Alamitos 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!
One of the most important pieces of information for you every school year is the Los Alamitos Unified 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 Los Alamitos Unified below.
