Supply List for 2021-2022

To simplify the back-to-school process and lower the cost for families, Diamond Path will be ordering all kindergarten student supplies. Parents are asked to pay a $30.00 donation to cover the cost of supplies for students. This can be paid by check (to Diamond Path) or cash to classroom teachers. The supplies will be provided for students by their classroom teacher when school begins.
