Supplies & Uniforms
Everything you need to buy, where to buy it, and the handful of items where the brand actually matters. The list below is a working checklist, so tick things off as you go, and it'll remember where you were.
The shortcut: buy the prepackaged kit
The school offers prepackaged supply kits, which is the least painful way to do this. Order at educationalproducts.com/ShopPacks using code PER014.
Even if you buy it, there's a second list of items you still have to get yourself: the backpack, the P.E. bag, the recorder, the Bible, and a few others. They're in their own section below, marked Buy separately. Don't order the kit and assume you're done.
Uniforms: where to actually shop
You don't have to buy everything from the official supplier.
- Target works well for most of it: khaki and blue shorts, pants, and skirts; white collared shirts for boys and girls; white or blue socks; and belts. They also have a good option for the boys' dressy blue jacket.
- Land's End is required for one specific thing. The girls' dressy cardigan has to be the Land's End version. Don't substitute this one.
- The Marketplace group on Facebook is the first place to look before buying anything new. Uniforms get handed down constantly, and you can post an ISO ("in search of") for a specific size or item. See Where Parents Talk.
Sweatshirts, fleece jackets, blazers, and sweaters especially. These are the things that come off at recess and never come home again.

Not in the prepackaged kit Buy separately
You need these whether or not you order the kit.
1:17 students only
New students get a nature study book, watercolor paints, and an ESV Following Jesus Bible provided in their classrooms. You'll be asked to replace those items as needed through the Perimeter Bookstore, but you don't need to buy them up front.
Two things the list says twice, so we will too
- Label everything, and replace it as it runs out. Pencils, glue sticks, dry erase markers, and red pens are consumables, so expect to restock mid-year.
- Watch the brands. Ticonderoga pencils, Sharpies, the Pentel Hi-Polymer eraser, and the Mead composition notebook are specified by name. The recorder has to come from the Bookstore. Everything else, generic is fine.
When your turn comes around, you may be asked to contribute a few extra items for the classroom. Nothing to prepare for now, just so it isn't a surprise later.
