Welcome to CIJS! We are excited to offer your child a project-based hands-on experience. Due to the unique Reggio approach to education, students utilize many different types of supplies which are both traditional and nontraditional. Different grade levels may have different supply lists.
Please note that all supplies will be placed in a common school “supply area” and used for the entire school as shared supplies versus supplies that will be used for your child or for his/her class.
Supplies will NOT be returned or donations reimbursed once they are given to the school. Thank you for contributing!
Additional wish list supplies may be requested throughout the year.
You can purchase these in one of 2 ways:
1. Purchase on your own and bring them to the school at Open House
2. Parents have asked for this option, so we are including it. You can donate $115 to CIJS for supplies and we will shop for you. You can send a check of $115 to the school or click the :Donate” link below. Please make sure that you write your child’s first and last name in the notes section along with the words “supply donation”.
The supply donation is a DONATION to the school to for the purpose of purchasing school supplies and is non-refundable regardless of reason.
If you choose to hand deliver the supplies, please take note: VPK kiddos will bring their supplies directly to their classroom at the Open House. K-8 Kiddos will bring their supplies to the multi purpose room at the Open House.
Needed Supplies:
CIJS will be starting a new policy for the 2023/2024 school year. Students will not be permitted to bring backpacks to school. Our reggio inspired philosophy encourages shared supplies and group work, therefore there is no need for them. Individual work that is completed usually stays at school. Any items that need to be brought home can be sent in folders or a binder which is easy to carry. Thank you in advance for understanding.
Supply lists may not include the following items that are necessary. Please put your child’s name on these items as they WILL NOT be shared supplies.
• Uniforms (Except VPK, but many wear them)
• Head set or ear buds for computers
• Musical Recorders (If applicable- certain grades ONLY-The music teacher will let you know.)
