7th Grade School Supplies

Middle schoolers at Genesis Prep participate in a rigorous academic program that prepares them well for high school. In addition to the following students' supply list items, they will need online computer access, word processing software (Microsoft Word preferred), and printing capability available after school daily. (Students may use the school computer lab for this purpose by arrangement with their Tech or core teachers.) Laptops are optional, but quite useful in class for Geography research and Writing Skills activities.    

Each student should bring the following supplies to school on our first day:

  • A 3-inch view binder (any color) divided into 8 sections that are separated by pocketed dividers. Label the first seven sections WRITING SKILLS, LITERATURE, MATH, GEOGRAPHY, SCIENCE, WORD STUDIES, and ELECTIVE. The remaining section will be labeled when you get your schedule. You may use 2-3 binders to separate subjects, if you prefer. Place plenty of binder paper in each section (either college-ruled or regular)
  • 2 marbled composition notebooks with the student's name and DEVOTIONAL written on the front
  • A paperback Webster's (or equivalent) dictionary and thesaurus with the student's name on them (These will be stored at school for the entire year.)
  • A pencil pouch with several sharpened pencils, a non-plastic ruler, a compass, and a protractor
  • A laminated binder-size world map (available at office supply stores)
  • A small collection of markers and color pencils
  • A personal reader to be used also for assigned at-home 20 minute reading. This is any parent-approved book.
  • A Bible that can be stored at school for both Devotional and Bible activities
  • 3 highlighters
  • 1 pack of post-it notes
  • 100 lined 3 x 5 index cards (to be stored at school)
  • white board markers for personal use, any color

Additional resources may be requested as students settle in to their first semester classes. Feel free to email me at rhartman@genesisprep.org if you have additional supply list questions.    

Added August 20, 2009:  

  • 7th graders will need to obtain a library card from the local library system for research purposes.
