Supplies

 

SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS

It is expected that each student will provide his/her own school supplies for the completion of assignments and class projects. Suggested supplies for different grade levels can be found on the WSSB web site.

For those items which cannot be purchased locally, WSSB will provide a small supply store to sell such items. This would include braille paper, abaci, slate and stylus, braille rulers, etc. Necessary equipment such as braille writers will be checked out to students in their cottages or at home as needed. Refundable deposits for equipment may be charged to cover the cost of damage and repair.

WSSB will give to each student (as appropriate) his/her first long cane as part of the instructional process. Lost canes will not be replaced free of charge. Folding or specialty canes may be purchased.

It is expected that students will have lockers to keep their materials and personal possessions. A refundable deposit is made for each key given out. Classroom teachers cannot be responsible for lost items on campus.
