What to Bring and Wear

What to Bring Everyday

  • Backpack (smaller size for kids – REI, Osprey have great, small backpacks for kids
  • Sunscreen
  • Full Water bottle
  • Packed lunch (Bentgo box, Lunchbots, etc)
  • Snack

Your child will be carrying their backpack by themselves all day. Please consider the weight of the backpack when you send your child to school. If it is too heavy for them, they might have a difficult time.
