Don't buy school supplies just yet...

Five weeks from today students will begin their return to classrooms and that means parents are already beginning to think about shopping for supplies. Siuslaw Elementary Principal Mike Harklerode says you shouldn’t get in too big a hurry.
Harklerode – “In our primary grades, Kindergarten, first and second grades, they’re…. we’re asking parents to bring in a supply fee so we can order bulk supplies. One of the things that happens, teachers accumulate supplies over the years and next year they might not need the same things they had on last year’s list and the supply fee allows us to do that.”

The supply lists are posted on the school’s website, Harklerode says parents of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders should wait until class lists are posted on August 16th before investing in specifics. The first day of classes will be Tuesday, September 6th.
