Junior High supply list for Mrs. Carder:
Binder - in the past I have requested each student to have a 3 inch binder to be able to incorporate all classes in one binder. If you choose to use different, smaller binders, you will need to ensure you are taking the appropriate binder to each class. I do require students to keep all work that has been passed back. This is an easy way to study for exams. I also check, on occasion, to see if students are keeping their work.
-Ear buds/ear phones
-Pencils (if you use mechanical pencils you must supply your own led)
-Erasers
-Paper
-Masks (at least 2)
-Water bottle (must have a secure lid to prevent spills)
-We will occasionally complete posters and projects and will require other items as needed (crayons, colored pencils, poster board.)
Requested Items - if you are able to purchase anything extra for our classrooms it would be greatly appreciated!
-Kleenex
-Pencils
-Cleaning/disinfecting wipes
-Bandaids
-Personal supplies (there is a “closet” of hygiene items in the office that we would like to try to keep stocked, but there are also some items that we would like to keep in the classroom on hand for students - deodorant, female products, etc.)
-Disinfectant spray
-Hand sanitizer

Good morning ,
The Illinois State Board of Education released information late Friday on converting our school days to something called a “Remote Learning Day.” We are quickly trying to determine what that means for providing educational services to our students. We hope to have more information on that front in the next couple of days as we polish our E Learning Plan now that we have a better idea of state requirements. The Act of God Days end on March 30. We will be moving into the Remote Learning Days after the faculty and staff have had adequate time to prepare for this type of learning delivery. Please stay posted and I will keep you updated.
Sincerely,
Dr. V. Artman
