2023-24 School Supply Lists

Get a head start on the 2023-24 school year by pre-purchasing your child’s school supplies! Your child’s teacher has identified the personal and community school supplies needed for a successful year. In cooperation with the Providence PTA, Campus Survival Kits has assembled a Kit of all necessary supplies for one low price!

Order by July 15

**You’ll receive a complete set of the exact supplies identified by your child’s teacher.

**Your child’s personal supplies will be delivered in a custom Providence Elementary drawstring bag. Delivery will be made to the school in August.

**The items identified as community supplies (tissues, wipes, etc.) will be delivered directly to your child’s teacher for easy collection and storage.

**Based on the number of students who purchase a Kit, your child’s school will receive FREE refills on select items in January. That means the more parents who purchase a Kit now, the fewer requests parents will receive for more supplies during the year!

Community Review of Elementary English Language Arts Basal Instructional Resources

Fairfax County Public Schools will adopt new Elementary School Language Arts Basal Instructional Resources for the 2024-2025 school year.  A review committee composed of community members, administrators, and teachers will meet in July and August to review the instructional materials under consideration and community feedback. Public review of the recommended materials is part of the process for selecting new resources. Please share the information included in this communication with school staff and community by June 30, 2023.

Elementary English Language Arts Basal Instructional Resources may be accessed in person and online July 1 to July 31. Digital materials for public review and comment will be available on the Elementary Language Arts Basal Resource Review website. Those reviewing instructional materials may complete an electronic comment sheet that will be available on the website during the review period.

Hard copies of instructional materials will be available for review at:

Pimmit Hills Center, Room 207 7510 Lisle Avenue Falls Church, VA 22043 

Materials may be reviewed at Pimmit Hills Center Monday - Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Visitors should enter through door #4 and check in at the main office or with the building coordinator on duty.

An open house with representatives from the Elementary Language Arts team will be held on July 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Pimmit Hills Center.

All community feedback will be shared with the review committee and with School Board members before the vote at the School Board regular meeting.
