High-quality items are important
Carries students all the way through
the school year
Families often don’t have extra
resources to buy new school
supplies if items fall apart
This matters most with items such
as backpacks, binders, and folders
(for example, plastic or reinforced
cardboard folders vs. thinner paper
that can tear).
Clear and fabric backpacks needed
Richmond City Public Schools
require clear backpacks this year
Henrico and Chesterfield County
School students can use traditional
fabric backpacks.
