✏️ School Supply Lists!
Lists are available by grade level and include the general items students will need for the year.
New Mexico’s annual Back-to-School Tax Holiday runs from Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 2, 2026. This is a great time for families to shop for school supplies, clothing, and other qualifying back-to-school items.
Because some courses have specific needs, students may receive a few additional supply requests from teachers during the first week of school.
New this year: All students are asked to bring 3 boxes of Kleenex and 3 containers of Clorox Wipes.
