Elm Tree Elementary's Pre-K list opens with the backpack: one regular-size pack, no toddler or mini bags, big enough to hold a folder and notebook. The rest follows in the school's order, from spare clothes to tissues, and the school asks that everything is labeled and handed to the teacher within the first two days. Brightwheel's family list adds a few comfort items. This is one school's list, so check yours before buying, and it leaves out supplies a teacher would stock.
