School Supplies
Carden Academy is pleased to introduce a program which will benefit our entire school community and help ensure the new school year starts off smoothly. Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, Carden Academy will procure and compile all student school supplies for Preschool through Grade 5 students. Due to the varied content of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade supplies, these grades will need to purchase their own school supplies. Water and Mylar blankets for the required Earthquake Kits will be provided for the entire student body, Preschool through Grade 8.
The goal of the program is to help our parents save money and time, as Carden Academy will purchase all items in bulk in order to drive down costs. Likewise, students and teachers will enjoy the added benefit of an organized first day of school with all students starting the year with complete and standardized supplies that perfectly match each respective teacher’s classroom requirements.
Parents will no longer have to search for a wide range of items from multiple office supply stores, or, contend with bringing these items to the first day of school. Instead, Carden Academy will have all supplies ready in each student’s classroom on the first day of class.
Carden Academy is proud of maintaining a long history of quality education while striving to improve the experience for our community of students, families, and staff. We are confident that this new policy will bring a positive change for everyone.
Fee Schedule
Please remit the “Amount Due” on or before Saturday, August 27, 2011. Payment can be mailed or paid in person at the Santa Clara main office.
