School supplies
The Colquitt County School System will provide all supplies needed for in-class work. Parents don’t have to buy anything. However, accessories like bookbags aren’t provided, and any parent who wants to provide materials like pencils, pens, a pencil and pen pouch, notebook paper, pocket folders and a three-ring binder is welcome to do so.
If a student disregards reasonable care and use of school supplies distributed by the school system, his or her parent will be notified and all school supplies for the remainder of the school year will be the parent’s responsibility.
