Dear Parent/Guardian:

Please find below the supply list for the 2010-2011 school year. The Roberts staff prepared the list with their particular grade level in mind. We ask that when you start your “back to school” shopping you use the list that we have provided. Be sure to watch the summer weekly sales at Staples, the Family Dollar store, etc. throughout the summer. Various stores will offer great discounts on many of the items listed in their back to school promotions.

Also, an important reminder to parents/guardians is to stress that Trapper Keepers and Backpack with Wheels are not recommended for purchase. The lockers cannot accommodate the wheel-designed backpacks, and the Trapper Keepers are too cumbersome, and the staff does not find them an effective tool for students.

We thank you in advance for working with us to make your child’s new school year a successful one! Have a happy and safe summer.

Sincerely,
Mr. Kirk D. Johnson, Principal, and the Roberts Staff
