The school year is coming to an end or has already ended. Do you know what that means? It means it will soon be time to prepare for back to school shopping. At the end of the school year schools send home a school supplies checklist. Many schools provide primary or kindergarten students with their school supplies while charging parents a nominal fee. For other grades parents are responsible for purchasing all the items on the list so their child is prepared for the new school year. 123Ink carries many, if not all, the items on this generic school supplies checklist for elementary school:
