VRMS School Supplies for 2024-25 (printable)
These are supplies needed to start the school year, however, please do not bring them to Open House. Just outfit your student’s backpack and binder with the items.
The cost of school supplies should never be an excessive burden on families' ability to send their children to school equipped to learn. Our community provides support through the Ridgefield Family Resource Center, which in addition to school supplies, also provides free food, clothing, and personal hygiene products to Ridgefield families. If you have questions or need to get in contact with the Family Resource Center, please call (360) 619-1412. Additionally, there is a Back2School Bash on August 17th where families can get school supplies.
