Seneca 7
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are looking forward to working with your child this year. As part of the Seneca 7 team we are hoping that your child will find this school year successful, challenging, and enjoyable. As the end of August approaches and those “Back to School” ads appear, we would like to suggest the following items listed below. We are very aware that circumstances for many families have changed over the past few months. If your family is experiencing hardship and unable to fulfill the student supply list, please contact any one of the team teachers and we will work with you to secure the materials needed for your student.
Team Supplies
- 1 1 or 1 ½ inch 3-ring binders (math)
- 1 3 ring binder, any size (science)
- 3 Composition notebooks (LA)
- 1 Box colored pencils (personal use)
- Pens blue or black (no gel pens) (personal use)
- # 2 pencils (personal use)
- 1 Free reading selection (LA)
- 2 Boxes of tissues (homeroom)
- 1 Highlighters multi-color pack (science, math)
- 2 Pack post-it notes (math and LA)
- 1 TI-30X IIS scientific calculator*** please read below
- 1 Heavy duty plastic folder (optional HW folder for all classes)
- 1 Earbuds/headphones-wired (used for all classes)
***We would like to strongly suggest that you purchase the TI-30X IIS scientific calculator for your student for use in both math and science classes. Calculators will be available during math class time, but we cannot send calculators home with students. The NYS mathematics test for 7th graders allows the use of a calculator on the entire exam, and we feel it is important for each student to have his/her own calculator for math and science, especially for home use. We will be doing in-class calculator lessons with the students using only this particular model and it would be most beneficial to the students if they were able to follow these classroom instructions. This model allows the user to see what has been entered on the display screen and scroll back into prior work.
Students are allowed to have a different calculator but it will be their responsibility to keep their owner’s manual and learn how to use their own calculator.
We look forward to working with you and your child!
Sincerely,
Matt Duesler (SS) DueslerM@guilderlandschools.net
