📚✨ School Supply Lists for the 2026-2027 School Year Are Here! ✨📚

It's time to start getting ready for an amazing school year! 🎉 Attached are the school supply lists for students entering 4th, 5th, and 6th grade.

🎨🎵🖥️ While you're shopping, we'd love your support for our Encore teachers! If you're able, consider picking up a few of the additional supplies they've requested to help make art, music, PE, STEM, library, and other specials classes even more engaging for our students.

📅 Student schedules will be released later in August, so there's still plenty of time to gather any Encore-specific items before school begins on September 8th.

Thank you for helping us start the year prepared for learning, creativity, and success. We can't wait to welcome our Westside Eagles back soon! 🦅🩵
