What to label for school?
This is the first year we have to provide our own supplies. DD will have a supply box at her desk. Am I supposed to label things like crayon boxes, scissors, markers? I'm guessing things like pencils and glue sticks just get pooled for the classroom?
ETA - I was googling this and there are some schools where you label individual crayons and pencils. How common is that? I could do it, but if the supplies are pooled, that will be weird for other kids to have my DD's name on their crayons... Maybe I will ask the teacher what to label...

Re: What to label for school?
I NEVER labeled crayons or pencils. They just went into his pencil case that's labeled with his name.
Sharpies work amazing. LOL!
We have a label maker that we'll use to put on folders, books, pencil case, etc.
For glue stick I might just put his initials somewhere, but those aren't that big of a deal if not labeled. The folders and pencils case are most important. Obviously backpack, lunchbox, water bottle, and jacket.

They only things we were told to label was notebooks, folders, art smock. Everything else is going into a community bin where the kids will share.

Re: What to label for school?
It really depends on the school, grade and teacher.
Most will specify. For example, for 1st grade I had to label every pencil- this was specifically requested.
In 4th, I only label the folders and notebooks.

We got a list of what to label.
For things like markers and crayons I just labeled the box they came in. I thought labeling each crayons was a little extreme lol, and the teacher's list did not specify.

We were told NOT to label many of the items because they go into a community bin. I prefer this. Imagine labeling a pencil. COME ON! If they run out ill buy more.

I was able to stop in my sons class and I asked his teacher. He is going into first grade and his teacher said that she has OCD and prefers to label everything. I think she has stickers. My issue is that he has so many supplies that I can't fit it all in his backpack. I think I may send in the baby wipes and tissues on day 2 and just the folders and main supplies on the first day.
