2025-26 OMS Supply Lists
If you want to get a jumpstart on school supplies for the 2025-26 school year, look no further!
Grade 6 Supply List
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. 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. Remember to label all supplies with your first and last name and homeroom.
Combination locks will be provided to each student for use on their homeroom locker and PE locker. Please note both locks are the property of the school district and will be collected at the end of the school year. If a lock is misplaced, a replacement may be purchased through the Main Office for $5.
