Please remember that Educational Materials are ordered as they align with a student’s course of study and lessons that address grade-level standards. Please provide descriptions in your orders of the standards and lessons the items will meet. EFs should provide a lesson plan for books, activities, or curriculum. We appreciate efforts in finding the best value items. Please note that all materials purchased by JCS are property of JCS unless items are consumable. Approvers will ask the following questions, and EFs will be the first approval level to consider these questions: 1. Are these supplies something that a typical school would supply? 2. Are these supplies grade/age appropriate? 3. Are these supplies appropriate to the students’ needs and course of study for this school year?
