Student Supplies

School supplies necessary for students in K4–6th grade are purchased and placed in classrooms ready for the first day of school. The cost of supplies is added to an activity fee divided between two payments billed to accounts in September and January. Geneva benefits both from our tax-exempt status and bulk pricing. The cost is no more than $65 per student.

ITEMS NOT INCLUDED IN ACTIVITY FEE BILLING: At each grade level, there are a few items that are not included in the activity fee billing. These are items that parents supply and other items that may or may not need to be replenished every year.

The following item is available from the SCHOOL STORE during the summer.

• ESV TruTone Thinline Bible (5th & 6th grade) – $23: Returning students may bring the Bible they received at the 4th grade Knighting Ceremony or purchase a new one at the school store. New students should purchase a Bible from the school store. Bibles purchased from the TGS store will be delivered to the student’s classroom.
