Elementary School Supply List

  • Below is the School Supply List for the 2023-2024 school year. Each elementary school has the same requirements for school supplies so this list applies to all of the School City of Mishawaka Elementary Schools. 

    For middle school and high school, teachers will let students know what supplies will be needed. It's best to start the school year with some paper, pens, pencils, and folders.

    REQUIRED ITEM FOR K-6:

      • Backpack
        (Only a backpack is required for students in grades K-6. Schools will be providing all other supplies)
        The backpack does NOT have to be clear.

    OPTIONAL ITEMS TO DONATE:
    School City of Mishawaka will be providing general school supplies to elementary students for the 2023-2024 school year. However, if a family is interested and able to donate any of the items listed below, it would be greatly appreciated. These extra donated supplies will be made available for students to share throughout the school year.
