School Supplies for 2025-2026
Get ready for the 2025-2026 school year the easy way and help our school at the same time! The DES PTO is partnering with new vendor 1st Day School Supplies to help make the transition to the new school year more convenient for families. 

This is a fantastic WIN-WIN: 

1. You SAVE TIME & HASSLE: Skip the crowded back-to-school aisles and driving to multiple stores hunting for that exact blue highlighter. Get everything your child needs in one easy online order.
2. You SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL: A portion of every school supply kit purchased through this program goes directly back to DES! Your order helps fund important programs, resources, and events that benefit all our students and staff. 

Even More Convenient This Year! 

Forget lugging bags from store to car to home – this year, all ordered supply kits will be delivered directly to your child's classroom at DES before the first day! It couldn't be easier. 

Ready to Order & Support DES?

1. Visit the 1st Day School Supplies website here: Grade Selection | DUNWOODY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
2. Find the specific supply lists and pricing for each grade level.
3. Important: Please select the grade your child will be entering in the Fall of 2025.

Order Deadline: June 15th, 2025. Don't miss out on this convenient way to get your supplies and contribute to our school!

Important Details: 

• No Hidden Fees: The price listed for each kit includes all items and delivery directly to the school.
• Supply List Variations: For some grades, there are slight variations (and corresponding price differences) in the supply lists based on student last names (e.g., A-L vs. M-Z). This helps ensure classrooms have a balanced variety of shared items like different sizes of Ziploc bags. Please ensure you select the correct list for your child.
• Attention 3rd Grade Families: Please note that the required recorder for music class is not included in the supply kit. Recorders need to be purchased separately from retailers like Amazon or local music stores.
• Additional Items: Individual teachers may occasionally request a few additional specific supplies after the school year begins.
