How to read a school supply list
A 2026 to 2027 elementary list is a column of nouns, quantities, and footnotes. Seminole prints one column for every district elementary school. Orange and Osceola print a column per campus. The differences that matter are the journal style, the headphone jack, and whether extras are community supplies.
How to walk the list
- Open the official page. Seminole: SCPS elementary supplies or the 2026 to 27 PDF. Orange or Osceola: the school’s Supply Lists page from Lists.
- Find the grade. Teachers may add a class-specific sheet later. Union Park, Sun Blaze, Eagle Creek, and Lakemont all say that on the page.
- Mark personal items (backpack, headphones, pencil box) versus community items (tissues, wipes, extra crayons).
- Take the page to the store. Brand names on the school page are the school’s request.
What “primary journal” means
Several OCPS Grade 1 pages name a Mead-class primary composition book: a blank drawing space on the top of the page and handwriting lines on the bottom. That is the book for encoding after a phonics lesson. SCPS Grade 1 instead lists two wide-ruled composition notebooks. Same job, different ruling.
If the page says “Primary Journal” on the cover, that is the picture box. A marble composition book is the wide-ruled kind.
FAQ
Do I need two pairs of headphones?
Sun Blaze and Maxey Grade 1 lists ask for two pairs. SCPS Grade 1 lists one set and notes that shared classroom headphones are available. Read the campus column.
What if the school names a brand I cannot find?
Carry the official list. A generic 24-count crayon box, a #2 pencil, or a blunt-tip child scissor is the noun. The brand line is the school’s preference.
