2025-26 Student Supply List

This is a list of supplies that pretty much every student at Cresthill will need to attend to and have in hand in order to start the 25-26 school year well. Some teachers and programs require additional materials, resources, and supplies -- stay tuned for more information on that as we get closer to the start of the school year.

Please note, along with the general supplies, your student will need to have a computer device as CMS is a 1:1 school. Please note the guidance, suggestions, and options along the lines of our 1:1 computer program here at Cresthill. 

Questions? Please don't hesitate to reach out the main office staff (303.387.2800) concerning supplies or to Mr. Wakefield (mdwakefield@dcsdk12.org) with questions about the 1:1 program.
