Tell City Jr.-Sr. High posts 7th and 8th grade supply lists

Families in Perry County can start summer budgeting around a familiar school task: Tell City Jr.-Sr. High School posted its suggested supply lists for students entering seventh and eighth grade. The June 8 notice put the materials online early, giving parents time to plan purchases before the back-to-school rush.

The school’s news page placed the supply-list post at the top of its feed, and the update directs families to separate lists for each grade. That makes the post a practical stop for households with children moving into junior high, where class schedules and classroom expectations often become more specialized.

The district is also asking parents to think beyond notebooks and pencils. Tell City-Troy Township School Corp says families should share their transportation plans for next school year so bus routes can be revised accurately, a detail that matters in a district serving Tell City, Troy Township and nearby Perry County communities. For parents balancing work schedules, car pools and bus stops, that notice gives another reason to get organized early.

Tell City Jr.-Sr. High School is at 900 12th Street in Tell City, and the district office is at 837 17th Street. Brad Ramsey is listed as principal, and Chris Hollinden is listed as assistant principal. Those names and locations give families a clear point of contact as they work through enrollment, scheduling and supply planning for the coming year.

The timing also fits the pace of summer in a small county where school information is part of daily planning. Tell City is the county seat of Perry County, which had 19,170 residents in the 2020 Census, and Tell City itself had 7,506. In a community that size, a simple supply-list post can carry real weight because it helps households avoid last-minute trips and makes the start of the school year a little more orderly.
