Classroom Wish Lists
This will be updated annually during the first few weeks of school with the goal of having it completed by Back-to-School Night. It may also be updated as needed throughout the year. First check the individual teacher/classroom lists. If one is not provided, you can refer to the suggested supplies at the bottom of this page. Don’t forget that the STEAM/Art Lab, Counseling, and Special Education Teachers may also have needs and serve many or all of our students.
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 links blow for individual classrooms 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. You can find them in the suggested supplies by grade level listed at the bottom of the page.
