Buy School Supplies from Your PTA!
Every year, the PTA offers parents the opportunity to purchase all the school supplies their child needs in a convenient, one-stop purchase.
- No need to go to 5 different stores
- Sort through lists of what your child needs
- Carry the supplies to school
At PACKET PICK-UP, on August 20, 2007, you can purchase the supplies from the PTA.
We contract for the purchase of all the supplies for the whole school, so we are able to offer the supplies at a very competitive price. The supplies are pre-packaged by grade level, and they are EXACTLY what were requested by the teachers. We will even deliver them to your child’s classroom so they will be on their desk the first day of school!
TAX FREE
Additionally, the PTA has designated Packet Pick-up as a tax-free day, so if you purchase the supplies on August 20 (only), you will save the 8.25% state sales tax.
This year’s pre-pack cost is as follows:
- Kindergarten $29.00
- First Grade $53.00
- Second Grade $46.00
- Third Grade $50.00
- Fourth Grade $53.00
- Fifth Grade $48.00
If you enjoy shopping the “Back to School” deals offered by various vendors, you can find the official BARKSDALE list of school supplies needed by each grade level online at www.barksdalepta.org. Please be aware this list differs, sometimes significantly, from the official PISD list displayed at the retail stores. Be sure to take the BARKSDALE list with you when you go shopping to avoid having to go back to the stores a second time to return items or purchase additional supplies.
If you have any questions, please contact Jenny Wood.
