Try the local Staples store near your grandson's school - very often they'll have supply lists for local schools.Posted by - Lani Harac, SchoolFamily.com on Jul. 15, 2008

Hi, DeeDee -- The required school supplies vary by location, so your best best is to check with your grandson's school or his new teacher. Sometimes the central school district office also provides this information. Once you're ready to go shopping, read "Shop Smart for Back to School" for some tips on buying school supplies. Good luck!Posted by - DeeDee Perry on Jul. 14, 2008
