If purchasing a new graphing calculator, purchase the TI 84 Plus CE graphing calculator model.
These calculators can be purchased at stores such as Walmart, Target, Staples, or online at Amazon.com. We suggest purchasing these in early August to take advantage of the back-to-school sales. However, be aware that several stores sell out on the first day of school.
Please do not purchase other TI 84 models. They are outdated.

Graphing Calculators: We highly encourage families to purchase their own graphing calculators, but we do have calculators available for loan. Let your child’s math teacher know if you need to borrow a calculator. Your child will need this calculator for the first week of school, as it will be used and needed for homework/classwork.
MUSIC
All Music Students
- Students enrolled in a music course at the Academy should have access to a pair of headphones for home use.
