The year may have just ended, but it’s never too early to start thinking about school supplies. Back by popular demand, the Turtleback Education Foundation has taken the hassle out of shopping by providing an easy and convenient way to order school supply packs for students in first through fifth grades*.

School supply packs can be purchased online at www.educationalproducts.com/shoppacks. Just enter the school ID (TUR076) and start shopping. Each pack includes the teacher-requested supplies for that grade level; however, some teachers may also ask for additional items (such as headphones) at the beginning of the year.

The updated deadline to order school supply packs is July 30. The packs will be available to pick up at the Ice Cream Social on August 18, or if you’re unable to attend, they will be delivered to your child’s classroom on the first day of school.

*If your child is entering transitional kindergarten or kindergarten, school supply needs will be communicated by your child’s teacher.
