Kindergarten Inventory
This inventory can be used by your kindergarten team as an overall reference for materials that should be in teams or classrooms. The guide reflects materials that were supplied by our office for instructional use when a new kindergarten classroom was previously opened. We understand that items may go missing; however, this inventory is for reference purposes and is not meant to serve as a wish list or shopping list of missing items. Your team should work together to familiarize themselves with the location of as many items on this list as possible; in most cases, after our initial material purchase, old or outdated materials should be replenished using school-based funds.
Please note that teacher desks, student tables and chairs, and file cabinets are not Early Childhood Programs-provided furniture. These furniture items are supplied by the HCPSS Purchasing Office. Please visit Purchasing Inventory to view approved furniture items that are supplied for new kindergarten classrooms.
