As everyone gets into the Back-To-School mindset, one of the first things that folks are looking for are supplies for their students as they head off to school.

Rather than waiting until the First Day of School, many parents want to get a jump on the lines and get their supply closets stocked before school starts.

This list is collated from several schools' existing lists and is meant as a starting point. Your own list may need to vary upward or downward, depending on your school, the number of little ones you are shopping for, the requirements your school may have and your own personal preferences.

As a personal note, I'm the father of three, and my youngest is in her junior year of high school, so its an experience I've had more than once.

  • 1 pack of Ticonderoga My First Tri-Write Beginner pencils (the big fat ones!)

  • 1 pack of 2 pink erasers
  • 2 Elmer’s Glue Sticks
  • 1 bottle of Elmer’s Glue

  • 1 box of gallon-sized Ziploc bags
  • 1 box of sandwich-sized Ziploc bags
  • 1 boxes of tissue
