School Supplies

Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) uses the same school supply list for all students in kindergarten through grade 8. We hope this simple list will help to keep costs down for our families.

School Supply Lists: Grades K–8

Note: Because the needs of older students vary, all MPS high schools have their own supply lists. Please contact your student's school directly.

Important Reminders

  • If your student is in grades K3 through K5, you will need to supply a mat for resting. Check with your child's school for more information.
  • Please put your child's name on all of their supplies.
  • As your child runs out of supplies during the year, you will need to purchase more. It is always a good idea to have some supplies at home for doing homework as well.
  • Use the language switcher at the top of the page to read supply lists in multiple languages.
