The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has developed a common list of recommended personal use items for students in grades JK-3 and grades 4-8.
This list of supplies is strictly voluntary; parents/guardians are not required to purchase or provide the items listed.
As a result, it is a parent/guardian’s choice to send the following items for use by their child for the first day of school in September.
