Classroom Supply Wish Lists

Below are some general supply lists. Some teachers also have individual/Amazon Wishlists in addition to the suggested supply list.

To view teacher-specific supply lists, a link is provided on their name below OR you can view a QR code on the Classroom Supply List page.

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, but nothing that indicates “your child needs to have…”

Vista Grande also provides 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.

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.
