Frequently Asked Questions
Any student in Pre-K through 12th grade in Washington County.
Now through July 23 at 11:00pm CST.
Probably not! We kindly ask that you email erin.mcquay@uwwce.org to be added to our waitlist.
Unfortunately no – because each school and teacher has a specific curriculum. Our team talked with Stillwater teachers and have packed up the essentials into the backpack that will give a huge start to the entire list of supplies needed for each particular grade level. The teachers are so understanding that each student might not start they year with all the supplies they need, and that's okay!
We are here to help where we can. We all lead different lives and let's see if we can be of help. Email erin.mcquay@uwwce.org the details you feel comfortable sharing and she'll get back to you.
