Classroom Wish Lists

Click on the teacher/classroom to view the supply lists and wish lists. Some teachers have Amazon lists while others are just using the suggested supplies. When you click on the post, there will be a link to their list. A QR code is included if you want to print the page out. This page will be updated throughout the first week of school. Schools cannot require that you provide supplies. See the information at the bottom of this page.

Suggested Supply List

By California law, schools cannot put out a student supply list that suggest that those supplies are required for the student. Teachers have access to basic supplies, like pencils, erasers, standard school sets of crayons, etc. Teachers can put out wish lists for items that can be donated for whole-class use, or suggestions, but cannot require families to provide these items.

Vista Grande does provide a homework/communication folder for each student, UTK-5.

Wish lists will be available at the beginning of the year or during Back to School Night from your classroom teachers. Please see the above links for individual clasrooms and/or teachers.

We know that Back to School Sales often happen prior to the first day of school. If you are looking to take advantage of those sales, there are a few items that are often on wish lists.
