I have recently made a change to a new school and a new district. My previous school (in a middle class suburb) offered a lot in the way of supplies. My new school (in the inner city) does not have the option to do that. While we have MANY of the items our scholars need, my classroom is missing a few things AND my scholars' desks are missing some important items.
We would love to have a rug area where we can hear stories and learn new content.
We also need some help organizing our supplies in our desks. Many students have reported to school without any of the items from our supply list. In order to keep us organized AND to keep us from having to share everything.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
