Wharton PTO is using TeacherLists to help make shopping for back-to-school supplies easier for families! It’s a one stop site where you can find the most up to date supply lists for our school. To get started, simply:

  1. Click on the red “School Supply Lists” button below.
  2. Select your student's grade level supply list.
  3. Choose how you’d like to shop:
    • One-click online shopping: 
      • Select from major retailers like Walmart, Target, and more!
      • Your shopping cart will be prefilled with the items on the list you selected. Be sure to carefully review your cart before checkout to ensure the items match what's specified on the supply list. Teachers may have requested specific types, colors or package quantities for items; this information is included in the item description on the list. You can easily add, replace, or remove items from the shopping cart to ensure they match the teachers' requirements.
      • Pro Tip: Check the notes section of each list for any tips or information about shopping for those supplies at specific retailers. Some retailers may add more quantity or offer different items than the teacher requested.
      • For more information on how to use one-click shopping right from your list, click here.
    • Shop in store: 
      • Print out the lists or use the mobile-friendly checkable list on your phone to help with your in-store shopping. Your lists are available on any device while you’re at the store.
