1st Grade Supplies

• 1 backpack 

Please do not send supplies with your child the first day of school. We have enough supplies to get everyone started and want to evaluate the needs and ability of every to access supplies. We will send out a specific list after school has started! We are looking forward to meeting our students soon! 

Sincerely,  

1st Grade Teachers 

2025-2026 School Year – Mr. Kevin and Ms. Milovanovic 

We are looking forward to the new school year and getting to know your students and your families. 

In 2nd grade, we share all our supplies except for backpacks, water bottles, and lunch boxes. The Amazon Student Supply List below is an easy way for you to contribute what you can and to assure that every student in second grade has the supplies they need. The wish list ships items directly to TOPS. If you prefer not to use Amazon, we understand! You can still use the list to know what to purchase! 

Please put your student’s name on their backpack, water bottle, and lunch box only. It would also help if you labelled your child’s jackets in case they get lost. 

We have two Amazon Supply Lists set up; one for Student Supplies and a Teacher Wishlist for items that Mr. Kevin and Ms. Milovanovic would love to have in the classroom this year.

4th and 5th Grade Supply List 2025-2026 

Hi 4th and 5th grade families!  

Our classroom supplies are available through an Amazon List this year. Click the link below to see what and how many of each item we need for our classes. You do not need to buy one of each of the items for each student – they are bulk orders and multi-packs to be shared by students in all of the 4th and 5th grade classes and maximize cost savings.  

When you order an item off the list, you can have it sent directly to the school, so your student doesn’t need to carry it (2500 Franklin Ave E, Seattle, WA 98102). If you find and buy an item cheaper somewhere else, let us know so we can update the Amazon list to account for it.  

The list will be up all year so please check back for any supplies (like recess snacks or pencils) that might be needed later in the year. 

Amazon Supply List

Items not on the Amazon list that your student will need: 

• 1 Reusable Water bottle with name on it 
• Basic plastic water bottle (no extra features: i.e. no spray or fan) 
• 1 Backpack with their name on it 

Thank you so much for any supplies you can provide! Please let me know if you have questions:  

• Mx. K rlkenter@seattleschools.org 
• Mr. Huang jahuang@seattleschools.org
• Mr. Ellis mellis@seattleschools.org

We’re so excited for us to be working together with your children this year. See you September 3rd!  

Cheers,  
Mx. K, Mr. Huang, + Mr. Ellis
