Simplify the chaos of back-to-school with our online school supply shop!

Simply scroll to your student's grade level and add the appropriate kit to your cart. Depending on your student's grade & electives, they may need a few items that are NOT included in the kit. Take a look at the list below.
All products are brand-name. The items included in the kits have been cross-referenced and fulfill the requirements as requested by Merton School teachers. Feel free to read through the Frequently Asked Questions here.
Once your order is placed, you can RELAX! Your kit will be delivered directly to school to your child's classroom and will be ready for your student by Open House (August 27). Alternatively, if you'd like to pick up your kit before Open House, we will send you an email to let you know the kits have arrived (expected the week of August 22) and you can come to school to get it.
The online sale closes at midnight on July 1.
