Eiland Elementary provides FREE school supplies for ALL students
Great news! Eiland Elementary will be providing FREE SCHOOL SUPPLIES to ALL students for the 2023-2024 school year! You are welcome to still have your student bring supplies, but we have enough for everyone! Some items that we welcome students to bring are: Kleenex boxes, Baby wipes, and Pencil boxes.
Sometimes, our teachers have "Wish Lists" of things that they may need extra of in their classrooms, and they may send short lists of some items that are still needed. If you would like, you may support your student's teacher in that way.
