The school which had spots available for all three was the third closest to our place, so a bit far actually. But still closer than our school in Texas.  They have a list of books we need to buy, but as far as supplies go, we were instructed to not worry, bring a pen, a pencil, and an eraser on day one and they'd let us know about anything else once school starts.
