Bedford Elementary Parents and Guardians,
The purpose of this letter is to address questions that the District has received concerning school supply lists that were posted on the Bedford Elementary website.
The start of a new school year is a very exciting time. The District recognizes that many parents and students enjoy going back-to-school shopping. The classroom supply lists that were provided by grade level teams are meant to assist parents and guardians in knowing what supplies are used in the classroom if they wish to purchase them on their own. By no means are students required to provide their own supplies for the school year.
For parents and guardians who are unable to purchase or choose not to purchase the listed supplies, the District will be sure to provide all necessary supplies for the students. It is the duty of the District to support our students’ education by providing them with outstanding instruction and equipping them with the resources they need to be successful.
As always, we appreciate your support of the Bison Community. We wish you and your student a happy and healthy remainder of summer break as we look forward to the start of another exciting school year! If you have any questions, please contact your building office.
Sincerely,
Brian Thompson
Assistant Superintendent
