📢 2026–2027 School Supply Lists Are Now Available!
Attention Montevideo Public Schools families! The 2026–2027 School Supply Lists are now available online for all grade levels. You can easily view and print your student's list directly from our school websites.
💻 How to Access the Lists:
1. Visit the district website at: https://www.montevideoschools.org/ and select your school from the dropdown menu.
2. Select the "School Supply List” quick link button on your school’s homepage.
3. View, download or print the school supply list.
⚠️ Important Update Regarding Supply Kits
Please note that Montevideo Public Schools did not partner with an online school supply kit company this year. In evaluating our programs, we found that the percentage of total orders placed through these services in past years was too low to justify continuing the partnership.
By providing the lists directly to you now, we hope to give everyone plenty of time to shop local sales and find the best deals for the upcoming year!
