Please replenish your child’s supplies as needed throughout the year especially paper and pencils. This is a general 8th grade supply list - some teachers may require additional supplies as needed at various times throughout the year.

Having access to a computer and the Internet at home or in the community is very beneficial.  All staff members update their web pages to keep parents informed about homework, tests, and other important classroom information.  Some assignments may also be enhanced through Internet searches and utilizing word processing software.  In addition, most of our textbooks now come with software for the students or links to websites to help our students with additional topics and practice test material.  Staff members also frequently check email and since your child will have several teachers, email might be the best way to communicate with all of your child’s teachers.  Finally the Daniels website provides a vast amount of beneficial information for families to stay informed about school about school events and activities.

We are looking forward to a successful year with your child!  Thank you!
