With the school year approaching, I understand that due to the pandemic, some students will be returning to school with strict guidelines or will following virtual schooling. Even if some schools have made so that the only supply you'll need is a device, there are some supplies that I simply can't part with.

3 Subject Plastic Cover Notebooks
For math especially, 3 subject notebooks are must-have because sections can easily be divided into notes, classwork, and homework. Best of all the cover is plastic therefore it's hard to tear and easy to clean. The most popular brand would be considered 5 stars, though as this can be a bit pricy you can often find generic with the same benefits if you look well enough.
Bic Clear Barrel 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil
Out of all the mechanical pencils I've used, these are by far the best kind. I write really hard and these pencils really hold up well under pressure. The lead is really pigmented so it stands out on paper.
Angoo Pencil Case
This pencil case comes in several colors and patterns, with an unbelievably large amount of storage space smartly compacted into a clean triangular prism. The material is extremely durable and sure to last many years to come.
TL-36X Pro Calculator
Starting from Pre- Algebra, this is the perfect calculator to own and I can't even count how many times it has helped me through some very stressful testing situations. The Pro includes a multiview display, therefore you can easily access old calculations. Plus, you can input stacked fractions, so it makes solving complicated algebra problems easier.
iQ folder- Heavy Duty Twin Pocket Poly Portfolio
I've owned this brand of folders for a long time and they still look brand new, for they are extremely durable. The price is fantastic and even if you try to rip it with your own to hands there's no way you'll make any damage.
Frixon erasable pens
If your a beginner in writing in ink this is a wonderful pen to own for its smooth writing experience and eraser. The nib is thin for clear and precise handwriting and comes in a variety of colors making them perfect to note-taking.
Mildliners
Mildliners are great for highlighting and note-taking as they don't overwhelm to eyes. They come in a variety of colors and some even have two types of points, one on either side, making it easy to annotate different size text for clean easy to read notes.
Zebra Sarasa Dry Gel Pens 0.5
The ink on these pens dry's incredibly fast so there's no need to worry about smudging, plus there's little to no bleeding. The pen isn't the cheapest thing on the market, but if you enjoy writing in pen often this is the perfect pen for you.
TI-84 Plus CE colored graphing calculator
This graphing calculator has easy to use features, high resolution, and best of all is colored with a backlit display. The calculator has a rechargeable battery, and AP, ACT, and SAT approved. If there's any calculator that will last through your education it's this one.
Five Star Reinforced Paper, College Ruled
This may seem like a basic school supply, but when it comes to lined paper it has to be college ruled, and if it's lined that's a huge bonus. college ruled is perfect for long notes and can really transform your writing, though if you tend to write very large I recommend sticking with wide ruled. Reinforced paper is great for long term use and keeps papers from tearing throughout the year leaving your notes in exceptional condition.
