School Supplies

The Colonial School District provides students with the materials they need to learn. Some schools/ teachers may have additional needs that will be communicated with families. Below are schools with optional school supply lists:

Welcome to Colonial Nation!

Newly hired CSD employees gathered for an orientation at William Penn that included an ice cream social, workshops, fellowship, and fun...let the school year begin!

WE Are Here for our Community

Wilmington Manor Principal Kishayla Payne-Miller and Assistant Principal Justin Hanger went to The First Annual Community Day sponsored by the West Wilmington Manor Civic Association. The school administrators enjoyed meeting neighborhood children and their families while sharing information and goodies from Colonial Nation.

WE Thank Wilmington University!

When Wilmington University closed its Graduate Center administrators knew exactly what to do with excess furniture and supplies...it was donated to Colonial Nation! Students and staff will put the gently used items to good use this school year. WE are grateful for our generous community partner!

WE Give our Facilities & Maintenance Staff a Thumbs Up!

Employees in the Facilities & Maintenance Division spent the summer getting schools and grounds in tip-top shape for students and staff. As a show of appreciation, an outdoor luncheon was held with food prepared by Texas Roadhouse and Mr. Softee because WE can't do what we do without all of their hard work and dedication!
