Twin Oaks 2025-26 School Supply List

Since 2021, the district had provided basic school supplies at no cost for students in grades K-5 using one-time federal funding. The funding has expired, and the district can no longer provide free school supplies for elementary school students. 

Rather than have extensive, detailed, grade specific supply lists, Twin Oaks plans to purchase school supplies in bulk for classrooms and for our students. This year we will depend on your contributions to do so. The recommended contribution to help cover the cost of supplies is $40 per student. 

Contributions can be made online HERE or use the QR code below. If you'd like to pay in person or have questions please connect with Ms. Jenna in the office.

We appreciate your understanding about this change. Reach out to the office if you have any questions. 

Additionally Items needed per student: 

Backpack

Water Bottle

Tissue Box

Shoes suitable for PE

If your willing and able to purchase and donate items we could always use:

tissue boxes

zip style bags in all sizes

individually packaged snacks (goldfish, pretzels, popcorn)

clean wipes

glue sticks 

expo pens 

wide ruled loose leaf paper

printer/copy machine paper

Crayola brand crayons, markers and colored pencils

Summer EBT

4J families with eligible school-aged children can receive a total of $120 per child to buy groceries during the summer when school is out.

Families receiving certain federal benefits, such as SNAP, TANF or OHP (Medicaid), will automatically receive Summer EBT benefits, as will those enrolled in migrant programs, who are experiencing homelessness or who are attending Head Start. Families not receiving federal benefits can apply for Summer EBT benefits, although they must meet the income guidelines to receive them. The simple application will be available starting this summer.

Visit the Summer EBT website to apply by September 3, 2025. When applying, you will be asked to provide your child’s name, school, date of birth and address. You will also be asked to report your household income.

Two Years of District Calendars Approved The school board has adopted the academic calendars for the 2025–26 and 2026–27 school years. The district moved to a two-year calendar last year to improve planning for families regarding days off and for staff regarding academic initiatives and professional learning. Click for the Spanish-language calendars for both 2025-26 and 2026-27 The only adjustment to the coming 2025-26 calendar initially adopted last year was moving the no-school mid-term grading day a week early to April 10, 2026, to ensure it arrives at the second semester's midpoint. The newly adopted 2026-27 calendar essentially mirrors the prior year's calendar, although with later start and end dates for the school year due to how the calendar falls.
