Dear Parents,

As we say goodbye to St. Dorothy School for the summer, September seems to be a lifetime away.  However, we know the infamous “Back-to-School” sales will begin in just a few short weeks.  In order for you to be prepared to take advantage of these sales, we are sending home a list of supplies that may be purchased anywhere. (See list below.) 

In addition, in September the students will need specific items from our Saint Dorothy Stationery Supplier.  These items will be given to your child during the first week of school.  These items include a LARGE pencil case, 5 specific copybooks, theme tablet, 2 durable folders and several clear page protectors.  Just a note about the LARGE pencil case: We request these because they will fit in the students’ desks.   It is not necessary to send in any other pencil cases/boxes.  Thanks for your cooperation.   ALSO, please pickup CLEAR CONTACT PAPER that will be used to cover your child’s workbooks.  These will be sent home the first week of school. 

 Again, the above mentioned school/grade specific items will be purchased through our Stationery supplier.
