Most Virginia elementary students need basic supplies like pencils, crayons, glue sticks, scissors, notebooks, folders, and a backpack. Middle school adds pens, highlighters, binders, and subject-specific materials like graph paper for math. High school students typically need more specialized supplies depending on their classes, such as art supplies for creative courses or scientific calculators for advanced math.
