School Supplies
Grade 6 (Kindergarten to Grade 6)
CBE charges a flat rate for school supplies to enable each student to have the same, high-quality materials available to them for learning for the entire year. Because we are buying for so many students, the CBE can bulk-purchase these supplies at a significant discount and pass the savings on to families. Student supplies are the same supplies that each individual family is responsible for purchasing in other jurisdictions.
