School Supplies

For Kindergarten to Grade 3 Students

This year we will again provide basic school supplies and school planners (or back and forth bags) to primary (kindergarten to grade 3) students. Instead of parents purchasing individual sets of supplies, the school will purchase the supplies for each student. Our goal of using this system is to be more cost efficient and less wasteful with our supplies, while still providing teachers with the supplies that they need.

In September, each K-3 student’s family will be asked to provide $30 for school supplies. The school supply fee is reduced this year by $20/student thanks to monies from the Affordability Fund, which is provided by Ministry of Education and Child Care.

For Grade 4 to 9 Students

For grades 4-9 at CCS, our teachers from each grade have been asked to develop a “core list” of supplies that they believe all students will need in each specific grade next year. Teachers will use the $20/student Affordability Fund to purchase more “class specific” supplies for their classes once the school year begins.  Families will be asked to purchase these “core supplies” in one of 2 ways:

METHOD #1: Using Teacher’s File quick and easy online ordering service (preferred by teachers), noting there is a $5 late fee for orders placed after July 15th:

  1. Please visit the Teacher’s File website by using the following link: https://packs.teachersfile.ca/schools/85
  2. Select the “Online Form” for the grade that your student will be attending at CCS for the 2024-25 school year.  You will find Teacher’s File has already created the exact list of core supplies that your student will need for their upcoming year at CCS.  Scroll down to the “Student Information” section, fill in the information, and then select “Order and Begin Checkout”.  You will be given a choice/explanation of payment options at checkout.
  3. Teacher’s File will deliver an individualized parcel of supplies to each student whose family orders supplies in this way.  Your student will receive their parcel of supplies on the first day of school.

METHOD #2: Shopping for their own school supplies:

Parents may also choose to purchase their grade 4-9 student’s supplies by themselves.  Please use the following form as your purchase list: School supply list 2024-2025
