Principal’s Post…
July/August 2018
Dear Parents,
Every summer, the excitement of school starting fills the air as stores promote their big Back to School sales (starting in July!). Pocasset’s teachers have created a school supply list for all students (by grade level) in anticipation of the great deals available throughout the summer months that students will need for next year. Please note that many of the items listed below will be shared by the classroom community.
In addition, the following supplies are NOT needed:
• Trapper Keepers (they do not fit into elementary cubbies/desks);
• Rolling Back Packs (they do not fit into elementary cubbies; also, they are a bus safety hazard).
This list will be available all summer here on our school web site. Thank you for your cooperation, and have a terrific summer.
Sincerely,
Deanne L. Reilly, Principal
