At Seven Points Prep (SPP), we know that a smooth back-to-school season starts with being prepared. Whether your child is starting kindergarten, gearing up for middle school, or navigating the independence of high school, having the right supplies makes a big difference in building confidence and starting strong.

If you’re part of the Lake Washington School District (LWSD), here’s what you need to know about supply lists for elementary, middle, and high school students in 2025.

SPP’s Quick Tip: Start with the basics only—then add class-specific items once you’ve heard from teachers. This keeps shopping stress-free and helps avoid overspending on supplies your student may not actually need.

Elementary School: Getting Ready to Learn

Many LWSD elementary schools keep it easy for families by collecting a classroom supply fee instead of asking parents to shop for long lists of items. Here are highlights from some of the most common schools SPP families attend:

Lakeview Elementary – Backpack, headphones (non-wireless), and classroom donations like tissues and hand sanitizer.
Ben Franklin Elementary – Headphones, backpack, lunchbox, and a water bottle. The school covers most classroom supplies.
Juanita Elementary – Only the basics: backpack, lunch box, water bottle, and headphones.
Kirk Elementary – Backpack, spiral notebooks, pencils, and colored pencils.
Bell Elementary – Backpack, earbuds, and a binder. Teachers may request additional items once school begins.
Rose Hill Elementary – Headphones, backpack, water bottle, and classroom supply contributions.
Mark Twain Elementary – Pencil box, notebooks, markers, and headphones.
Rush Elementary – Backpack, headphones, and classroom contributions.
