It's time to start getting ready for another amazing year at Holt!

This year, all Durham Public Schools have posted their official school supply lists on TeacherLists. TeacherLists is a free, easy-to-use digital platform that allows schools and teachers to share school supply lists and classroom wish lists all in one convenient place.

Parents can quickly access their child's supply list and shop with just one click through major retailers such as Target, Walmart, and Amazon, making back-to-school shopping easier than ever.
