Prepare Your Classroom with Confidence
Get organised for the school year (or any term) with our Classroom Supplies Checklist Template, available in fully editable Microsoft Word format. Whether you're a teacher setting up a new classroom, refreshing your current space, or coordinating with school administrators, this template gives you a structured, comprehensive tool to track everything you need.
What’s Inside
- Complete Checklist of Supplies — From basic stationery (pens, pencils, erasers) to teaching-specific needs (manipulatives, classroom posters), this checklist covers all major categories.
- Organised by Category — Supplies are grouped into logical sections (Writing & Paper, Technology, Cleaning & Hygiene, Health & Safety, etc.) so you can easily navigate and prioritise.
- Customizable Layout — The template is designed in Microsoft Word, making it simple to add or remove items, change quantities, or adapt to your school’s policies.
- Print-Ready & Digital — Use it on your computer, tablet, or print a hard-copy version for your classroom or office.
- Reusable & Scalable — Great for individual teachers, grade-level teams, or entire departments. Reuse and update it each year as your needs evolve.
Why Use This Template
- Time-Saving & Efficient: No need to start from scratch — the checklist is ready to go, allowing you to focus on teaching rather than planning.
- Ensures Completeness: Avoid forgetting essential items. The organised layout minimises the risk of missing out on important supplies.
- Budget-Friendly: Track your supply needs in one place to help you plan, request, or justify your budget.
- Encourages Collaboration: Share the checklist with other teachers or your school administration to coordinate bulk ordering or supply sharing.
- Flexible Use: Whether for a new classroom setup, mid-year inventory check, or year-end restocking, the template adapts to many scenarios.
