Official School Supply Guidelines

DoDEA Europe Official School Supply Guidelines - SY 23-24

This is the only official list of supplies for students at DoDEA Europe schools. All other lists that may be in circulation, or requests for additional supplies, should be disregarded. Parents should follow only the DoDEA Europe official guidelines when purchasing school supplies for their children.
Each school may provide additional guidance to the parents on what to buy for their student that is more "grade specific". These lists are normally provided to the installation exchange, published on social media, and shared in school newsletters before school starts. Additionally, teachers will identify which items will be needed for their classroom. So please check with your school and your child's teacher to know exactly what items will be needed, prior to making any purchases.
