School Supplies 2024-2025

By paying through the TeSA PTO, our teachers do the shopping for you. They will pick out the exact supplies needed for their class and buy in bulk, so the money saved can go toward additional classroom needs. (This is the teachers' preferred option!) 

​

This fee includes supplies for the Fine Arts teachers, too. 
For grades K-2, $5 goes to Fine Arts.
For grades 3-5, $15 goes to Fine Arts. 

​

We offer two payment options: one-time full payment, or 2 half payments.

You will pay for each student individually if you have more than one student at TeSA.

​

Why use this option?

​

Teacher Perspective:

To maintain the most equity possible and ensure all students have access to the same supplies in the classroom, homeroom teachers use the collected school supply funds to purchase all classroom supplies in bulk. Each classroom will be slightly different, as teachers may color code items, purchase content-specific materials, and/or make personalized supplies for their homeroom.

 

Parent Perspective:

Save time and money! The PTO officers priced each of the supplies lists on Amazon, ranging from $150 to $250. By paying through PTO, families can save $25-$125!
