South Orange Middle School
2023-2024 School Year
*Note: This is a general supply list to get our students started for the school year. Specific teachers may ask for additional items at the start of the year.
If you have a hardship of any kind regarding classroom supplies, do not hesitate to reach out to our guidance office at 973-378-2772 x2007. We are here to help
All students will need 2 combination locks for the hallway locker and the gym locker. If you are a band/orchestra student you will need an additional lock for your instrument locker. All students are responsible for learning how to open the lock they bring.
For those wanting to donate extra supplies to students and teachers who are in need, the HSA keeps an Amazon Wishlist. Any supplies ordered from this list will be evenly distributed across the classrooms. We always value your support and appreciate anything you can contribute.
