AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — On Thursday, officials from Amarillo ISD said they wanted to make the process of purchasing school supplies easier for families, by implementing a districtwide standard for elementary and secondary school supply lists.

According to an AISD release, all students are required to have ample supplies from the lists provided. As supplies are depleted throughout the year, please replace your child’s supplies in a timely manner. Additional organizational (i.e. spirals, folders, USB drives) and/or content-specific (i.e. protractors, project supplies) supplies may be requested by individual teachers throughout the school year. If you have questions concerning these supplies, please contact your school’s principal directly.

According to AISD:

  • All additional organizational and content-specific supplies must have approval from the campus administration before initiating the request. Timelines for purchasing additional supplies should be reasonable (minimum of five days) and will be kept to a minimal expense.
  • Brand name, color, size, etc. are left to parent discretion.
  • Students will not be penalized or rewarded for purchasing school supplies.​
  • Due to increasing applications of technology-based instructional activities, students are encouraged to bring small “earbud” type headphones to be used at the teacher’s and principal discretion.
