JRP is excited to announce that we will be able to provide school supplies for our students this year. The only items families must provide for students are a backpack and a lunchbox if your student will be packing their lunch.
Each grade-level has created a list of OPTIONAL supplies that can be purchased for the classroom.
We will also have some backpacks available if your student will need a backpack.
