Check the odd items first. Both lists ask for wired headphones, and Tobin's specifies no Bluetooth. The Oregon School District's list also wants an oversized T-shirt in a labeled zip bag as an art smock, except at Prairie View. Pencils and dry erase markers get used up, so replenish them as needed through the year. Quantities below come from one district list and one school list, so go by your teacher's list where it differs. This list leaves out store brands, and the district's boxed kits need ordering at least 10 days ahead.
