Where can I find school supplies lists?
The lists are HERE. We always want to ensure that our students have everything they need. Also, we never want families to spend more than they can afford on supplies. We want to thank Tools for School for putting together their annual supply drive for our students in need. They are providing hundreds of backpacks stuffed with supplies for hundreds of our students who preregistered. Also, Greenville ISD has a Teacher's Supply Closet that provides supplies for students and teachers. Requests must come from a GISD teacher, so if your children are short on supplies, please email your teacher, and he or she will put in a request.

10 Tips for Preparing for School
Here is a list of the top 10 things to get your child (and you!) ready for smooth sailing on school days.
1. Start a morning schedule
Wake your kids up at what will be their regular morning wake-up time. For older children, help them set an alarm clock so they can take responsibility for their own morning wake-up routine.
2. Eat a healthy breakfast
By now, we all know kids need a nutritious breakfast so they are ready to take on the day. Incorporate healthy breakfast options like apples, bananas, and whole grain toast. This will give them the energy they need to be mentally alert all day, instead of the mid-morning crash they’ll get from sugary cereals.
3. Set out clothes the night before
Avoid frantic mornings by having your child choose what he or she will wear the night before. If you have a younger child, let him or her pick from a couple different options. Get into a routine of doing this even before school starts so your child is in the habit of planning ahead.
4. Pack a healthy lunch
In the days or weeks before school starts, plan and make your lunches for the next day together each night. Even though school isn’t in session yet, you can help your kids get used to packing a lunch by having it labeled and ready to go each morning.
5. Follow a lunch schedule
Start eating lunch at the same time as your child will be when he or she is at school. This will help get your child’s stomach on a schedule so he or she isn’t going to class hungry and distracted.
6. Make dedicated TV-free time
Start getting into a homework routine now by having TV-free time during after-school hours. Use this time for a learning activity like reading a book or even talking about your day together.
7. Play board or word games
Playing games over the summer is a great way to keep you child’s mind engaged and focused on building learning skills. This will help make sure your child is prepared when classes start and make the back to school transition a smoother one.
8. Stick to a bedtime routine
Early bedtimes usually go out the window over the summer break, but young minds need plenty of sleep to be ready to learn. Get back into a set bedtime routine now so your child isn’t up late the night before the first day of school.
9. Read every day
Learning shouldn’t stop over the summer. Each day, take at least 30 minutes to sit with your child and read together. This will help keep him or her engaged with learning and in the routine of daily schoolwork.
10. Stock up on school supplies
Take your child shopping for back-to-school supplies he or she will need to get the year off to a successful start. Shopping for backpacks, binders, and pencil cases will get your child thinking (and excited) about the upcoming school year.
