Buy 12 glue stick, 45 crayons, 6 reames of paper

[snickerd3]

That's my plan too.  down here everything will be on super sale that first week they are out

 

[snickerd3]

registration is today $65.  they posted this yrs supply list.  added some more things to the list that were not there last year like an additional 8 glues stick for 16 total, a set of headphones (not earbuds) from dollar tree, and couple more folders.  The only non earbud headphones dollar tree had were over the ear, not over the head.  so I hope that works or too bad.  That's what the store they said had.

cost for 2 high schoolers...

No fee for registration...

Band $700.00

Cross County $200

Parking Permit $50 (where does this money go to?)

Locker Fee $5 (for the full year, again why do I have to pay for a locker when I already pay a **** load in property taxes)

But we are, under no circumstances, buying any ******* glue sticks!

 

[snickerd3]

I think it is more of a lock fee than a locker fee.  this way they already have your $ if the kid breaks it.  

parking permit...cheap rent and resealing costs?  I know they reseal the high school parking lot annually here.

I have no clue how much sports cost here.

I hope they don't waste my money painting a parking lot - cause that's all sealcoating really does..

I think they don't have enough lockers for all the students so this is their way they "manage" that problem..

We do get quarterly bills for "book fees", internet technology fee's and a ton of other ****, adds up to around $250/ quarter / kid..

minisnick is a little bummed, he isn't going to be in the same class as his best friend this year.

Mrs. Ble took mini-ble2 to her Kindergarten assessment today and dropped off her school supplies. I cannot believe that my baby girl is starting school! They grow up too fast!

Yes they do.

We won't know class assignments until August 23.

When did kindergarten become "grown-up"?

 

[snickerd3]

well minisnick knows at least one person in his class...the teacher sent out postcards to all her students and we got minisnicks and one for one of the boys from his tball team.    

 

[snickerd3]

so on meet the teacher night last week, the teacher had them sort out all their individually labels supplies into bins by type.  The next day afterschool minisnick said they spent part of the day resorting out their supplies.  WTF?!

I bought some Lisa frank folders in November for my desk at work all of the neon! 

 

[leggo PE]

Not that related, but last week my firm's office almost accidentally accepted a delivery for 50 boxes of coloring books and crayons. Bendon Inc. seriously needs to stop getting their mail here, as this is not the first thing of theirs we've received, and we've been in this office for almost two years at this point. PLUS, I'm pretty sure the last company in this office was an app company, which doubly confuses me as to why they're still having things shipped here...

Though adult coloring is a thing now... So maybe they were just trying to be nice and tell us to spend more time coloring, less engineering?

Schools here are awesome. Our annual dues cover all of the kids supplies for the year. The kids have a box with all their pencils/notebooks/etc waiting for them on their desk on day one. At the end of the year, they just pack up their boxes and bring whatever is left home or you can donate your leftovers to the classroom. Most just donate so the classrooms end up with more than enough supplies.

 

[Road Guy]

so you are still paying the same for the materials you are just paying someone else to go buy all of them?

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

It ends up being slightly less than the US. The fee covers their materials and all the miscellaneous other activities they have for the year (including a 4d/3n camping trip a couple weeks ago).
