Classroom Supplies

School Supplies: Bulk supplies fee rather than shopping. We will continue to give you a break from back-to-school shopping.  We have switched to a “Supply Fee” that goes to the school to provide classroom supplies.  Buying bulk supplies saves a great deal of money and ensures quality materials for all students.  So what do you need to know:

Cost: $60 per student.  Scholarships and sponsorships available – see below.

How & when to pay:  At the start of August, families can pay the supply fee through our PTSA payment system on our PTSA site: https://newcastleptsa.ourschoolpages.com/Packet/School%20Supplies.  During EVP, our Enrollment Verification Process, you will be prompted to pay the Supply Fee.  You may also bring a check or cash to the school office if you prefer.

Sponsorships & Scholarships.  We understand that not all families can afford to pay $60 per child at Newcastle.  So when making supply payments the following options are available on an honor system.

Full Pay: Pay for the full $60 supply fee for each child attending Newcastle Elementary.

Sponsorship: Pay an extra $60 or $30 to provide a scholarship for another child attending Newcastle Elementary.

If you cannot afford to pay the full supply fee for each child, you may choose the following:

Partial Scholarship: Pay $30 toward supplies for each child attending Newcastle Elementary.

Full Scholarship: Pay $0 toward supplies for each child attending Newcastle Elementary.
