Essential Back-to-School Supplies for All Grades

Cascade Patch has compiled general supply lists for elementary, middle, and high school students.

The beginning of the academic year is upon us, Cascade Patch parents. Atlanta Public Schools students return to school Aug. 8 and  Fulton County students go back a week later, Aug. 15. 

Undoubtedly, many of you are braving ridiculously heavy traffic, crowded stores, and a few persnickety children to prepare for the first day.

To make supply-gathering easier, Cascade Patch has compiled a general list of supplies for elementary, middle, and high school students. Of course, teachers may ask you to purchase additional items for specific classroom assignments.
