Blake Middle School Supply List - 2019/20 School Year- Updated 6/11/19

All Students

• Label all students' clothing with names so items can be returned when lost or misplaced. 
• Must have 1 combination lock for locker ** It is suggested that this is purchased early in the summer to give your student a chance to practice using it.  Above please find a picture of locks that kids have used that fit on our lockers. Please note that if your child has difficulty with locks, the traditional (non-titanium) spin lock is best as it is the easiest for the custodian to cut off. 
• Should have pens, pencils, erasers, 3 highlighters (including one yellow one), colored pencils, a glue stick and tab dividers (1 per subject).
• Should also have a pleasure reading book (can be on the iPad).

We always welcome donations of tissues, paper towels and disinfecting wipes for our advisories.
