6th Grade School Supply List 2024

The top 10 school supplies will give you an idea about the items to buy now or during the school term.  

We found out that there are 3 different types of supplies that schools often ask for - the required supplies, additional supplies, and supplies for boys and girls. 

Importantly, as your child enters middle school they'll require supplies for each of the courses (or subjects) such as Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Some schools ask for the general supplies that everyone across the grade needs. 

Many schools may often ask for the required school supplies on the first day of school. If you need clarity, speak to your child's class teacher as he/she is the best person to help. 

In addition, check out the school newsletter or website for any latest inclusions of supplies.


General school supplies for 6th Grade 

Some school supplies may need to be replenished during the school year. In fact, each school may require additional supplies depending on what they are planning after Summer. 

Schools that offer self-contained classes or other additional curricula and extra-curricular activities often make this clear in their newsletter to parents and citizens.

Contact the school or talk to your child's 6th Grade teacher if you need further clarification.

The diagram shows the complete list of items that we used to identify the top 10 school Supplies. The colored items were rearranged to show the popular (and common) supplies in three schools from the different states -  Kansas, Alabama and Texas.

We realised that all three schools have asked the parents and children to name the supplies with first and last names. This is an important exercise and must be done before the start of the school term. 

A fabric pen and name labels will be required to name the supplies.


2024 7th Grade and 8th Grade Back to School Supply Checklists

We compared over 100 school supplies from more than 10 middle schools in 9 states to identify the top 10 products. 

Each school supply list has a general list of items, as well as the items for each subject. We sorted the items and rearranged them to match the items from one school to another which made it easier to selectively identify the same items across the different schools. 

It took a week to finally complete the list. We call this the Top 10 Popular School Supplies!

You can see the Top 10 Items for the middle schools via the links:

1) 7TH GRADE Top 10 Popular School Supplies.

2) 8TH GRADE Top 10 Popular School Supplies.


How to use the School Supply Lists 2024?

These lists are *checklists* only. Your child's school will have an updated supply list for you. 

In fact, many of these items are common year after year. But these lists will give you a heads-up in case you see the supplies at a discount online, or at a shop, or anywhere in the house. 

By doing this, you do not have to buy all the supplies at once. This can save you a lot of money and time.

So we hope you find this information useful. Download the 6TH GRADE school supply checklist (PDF).
