Back to School Supplies List
Back to School Supplies ListIt’s the policy of Clark County Independent School District to provide for the basic supplies students may need for school. There are additional supplies that may be needed depending on grade level and teacher expectations. A list of these supplies is available at the beginning of each year or may be available on the school’s website. The school district does supply a recommended school supply list that gives suggestions on what students may need during the coming school year.
Elementary School Recommended Supply List
A student’s time at elementary school builds the foundation for the structure of their education. It’s in elementary school that students learn to follow directions, share with friends, and understand the basics in academics. Students learn an amazing amount of information in these 5-6 years in elementary school. Having the proper supplies gives elementary students the opportunity to express their creativity and progress academically.

Junior High/Middle School Recommended Supply List
A student’s time in middle school is full of new discoveries about themselves and the world in which they live. This can be a time of uncertainty for some students. That’s why it’s so important for them to be enrolled in a school that is successful in balancing academics, social activities, and overall student well-being. Having the correct supplies is important because it gives the student a sense of confidence that can help them succeed at assignments, projects, and other school activities.

Supplies for High School Students
Supplies for High School StudentsThe high school years are just as important as the elementary school years. These are the years where preparations for entering the adult world are keys to a student’s success once they graduate. A strong foundation of academics is needed to offer each student the best chance at a successful entrance into the college of their choice. Academics are not the only consideration when it comes to college readiness.
A well-rounded student needs a mixture of social, sports, and club activities. Schools within the Clark County Independent School District offer a variety of activities to ensure that each student finds something that interests them. The schools encourage students, parents and teachers to communicate effectively through these years to make sure that the students are getting the most from their academic, social and extracurricular activities.
One step on the ladder of success is being prepared for classes, clubs, and sports with the proper supplies. What a high school student needs for supplies will depend on their course of study, extra club pursuits, and participation in any sports. With this in mind, parents may want to pick up basic supplies they feel will be needed and fill in the rest when students are supplied with specific lists.
Support-a-School with Supplies
The Clark County School District manages a program called Support-a-School that keeps a list of school supply items that are needed by specific schools within the district. There are currently 89 schools on this list. Consider checking the list and picking up an extra supply or two while you’re doing your own shopping this year.
