School Supply List
As you prepare for the upcoming school year, we want to provide some guidance on school supplies. We understand that quantities, brand names, and availability of supplies may vary at different stores. It’s perfectly okay if you cannot find every item exactly as listed. The most important thing is to use the list as a starting point to ensure your child has what they need to begin the school year successfully. Thank you for your support and understanding. We look forward to another wonderful year of learning and growth together!
Please note there is no formal supply list for GlenOak High School; students should start the school year with something to write with and a notebook. Course specific supplies will be communicated by teachers.
We invite you to join us for our 2026-2027 Open House events!
Open house is a great opportunity to explore the school, drop off supplies, meet teachers, and ask any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you there!

Home Access Center (HAC)
Home Access Center (HAC) is an online tool for families of students in grades 5-12 to stay connected to their child’s academic progress.

The Home Access Center will close down for the summer and reopen on August 7.
All 5th through 12th-grade students’ HAC usernames and passwords have been set to their Chromebook Login/Eagleapps account information. Students will log in (username) with the first part of their email address (everything prior to @eagleapps.org) and their current Chromebook/email password.
