❑ Buy Classroom Supplies (Grades 5–8 only)

2024–25 supply lists for grades 5–8 are linked below.

The KCD Parent Association is once again offering easy, online school supply ordering for grades 5–8. This optional order process is meant to simplify school supply shopping by offering all required items for each grade in one place. You can order online by clicking here or via the link below. Please note that:
  • It is not mandatory to purchase through this system. This page also has links to all the school supply lists if you prefer to buy your own. 
  • Remember that when you add all the items required for a grade to your shopping cart, it's possible there are items you already own and do not need. Please be sure to remove these items from your cart prior to checking out.
  • We realize you may receive several boxes for your order. This is out of our control as Yubbler, our supplier, works with Office Depot, who sends products from multiple warehouses. We apologize in advance for this inconvenience.

❑ Get Proper PE Attire (Grades 5–9 only)

Lower School Physical Education
Students in grades JK–4 do not change for PE. All students in the Lower School are required to have sneakers for PE. Athletic sneakers are defined as a shoe with a rubber sole and closed top. Students should not wear shoes with wheels in the heel, shoes with heels, sandals, flip flops, or boots. 

Middle School Physical Education
PE athletic attire is optional for Middle School students. Students may wear school clothing which adheres to our dress code to PE classes so long as they are able to fully participate in PE activities. Students are expected to participate in every PE class regardless of their attire.
Students may change clothes in the locker rooms as well as in the middle school bathrooms immediately before PE classes begin.

Upper School Physical Education
Due to small class sizes in the Upper School Physical Education classes, students in grade 9-12 are permitted to use the locker rooms in order to quickly change before reporting to class. Students should dress in athletic attire for Physical Education classes. Athletic attire is defined as a short sleeve or long sleeve shirt, shorts that meet Upper School dress code requirements, workout pants, training pants, or sweatpants and athletic footwear. Attire not permitted include sports bras, tank tops, flip flops, sandals, shoes with heels, and/or boots.

All 9th-grade and new-to-KCD students have had a MacBook Air ordered for them. These will be distributed on August 7 and 8, between 9 am and 12 pm in the Upper School Lobby. Charges for the laptop will appear in FACTS in September. Please click here for all the details of the upper school laptop program.
