Here are the supply lists for the 2026-27 school year.
Grade 6
The O’Rourke Middle School will be providing an assignment/agenda book for all middle school students. Students will be expected to use it throughout the year to record assignments. Below is an initial list of supplies. (Remember to label all supplies with your first and last name and homeroom.)
- We recommend purchasing plastic pocket folders for each class since they are more durable than other styles of folders.
- A book bag/backpack will also be needed. This will be kept in the homeroom lockers throughout the day. Please do not purchase oversized bags or bags with wheels because they will not fit in lockers.
- Combination locks will be provided to each student for use on their homeroom locker and PE locker.
