school supplies

FCPS will be returning to five days a week of in-person learning in the fall.  You can get a head start on the 21-22 school year by pre-purchasing your child's school supplies. Each Spring the GBW PTA offers the convenience of pre-packaged "supply kits" from CampusSurvival. Instructions for online ordering can be found at  www.campussurvivalkits.com/gbw, as well as on our GBW school homepage. Online ordering closes on July 15. 

Supply kits ordered through CampusSurvival will be delivered to the school sometime in August.  You will receive notification in August as to when your supply kit(s) will be available. 

If you would like to purchase your own school supplies, supply lists, by grade level, can be found on our school website under the Academics tab
