Online Back to School Supply List 2021

Getting your kids ready for school and shopping back-to-school supplies sales used to be a headache. You’d have to get in the car, drive to Staples, and hope they had the Mead 5-subject spiral notebook your child wanted otherwise you’d be on the end of a public temper tantrum.

This year, in particular, it’s hard to know whether schools will be in-person or not. And if even if schools are in-person, it’s far easier to order school supplies online than run to the store with a mask and buy. Regardless of the school situation, the school supply list below will work for both in-person schooling and homeschooling.

Thanks to Amazon and all of the other online retailers, that’s no longer the case! You can click a few buttons online and have everything shipped to your home. We’ve made it even easier by compiling all of the common school supplies your kids will need below. We’ve sectioned everything by grade level so you can quickly find the appropriate school supplies and add them to your cart.

Below we have captured the most common school supplies that are needed for kindergartners.

Middle School School Supplies

Middle school is where students transition from kids to teenagers. Since middle school years are formative in a teenager’s life, the school supplies you buy will likely define your student’s status in the social hierarchy at school. They’ll likely need a lock for their locker. They will also need more advanced supplies for math classes such as a protractor and graphic calculator as well as college-ruled notebook paper for essays.
