I'm a high school teacher and these are my go-to picks after 27 years!
The only tissues my students like.
Products | Kleenex® US
The best wipes I've used.
Clorox™ Disinfecting Cleaning Wipes | Scented
Great, long-lasting, bright highlighters.
Berol Highlighters

Best for correcting papers.
Flair Felt Tip Pens | Paper Mate
I think this is the best tape.
Scotch™ Brand Tapes | 3M United States
Great staples
Staples - Standard, Heavy Duty, B8
Smooth paper with low jamming rate
Printer Paper
The only brand of colored pencils I use in my classroom.
Colored Pencils
Stickers for the classroom. Students are so proud when they receive these on their papers.
Stickers
Good quality folders for school.
Pocket Folders | Five Star
If you buy these in bulk at Costco, they are very cost-effective. Students like to use hand lotion after they wash their hands or when the weather is dry and cold in the winter.
Daily Moisture Lotion Fragrance-Free
Airwick air fresheners cover up the b.o. that permeates high school classrooms. I use the free-standing ones. Some schools prohibit the plug-ins, but check to see what your school allows.
Air Wick
Great quality teacher scissors.
Fiskars
Low-priced student scissors
Kids Scissors
Every teacher needs colored paper for classroom projects.
Colored Paper
Students still need paper to write on!
Loose Leaf Filler Paper in Paper(777)
I use baby wipes for students to wipe their hands, wipe their screens, and wipe their desks to clean off the Takis and Hot Cheetos dust!
Baby Wipes | Huggies® US
If you teach teenagers, I guarantee you will use this, especially under their desktops.
RADO Heavy Duty 3" Gum Scraper
Sometimes students prefer manual sharpeners.
Pencil Sharpeners
Long-lasting staples rarely jam and almost last forever.
Staplers That Last a Lifetime
Use these to stop students from using your outlets! I cover them with bulletin board borders.
Safety 1st Electrical Outlet Baby Proof Covers
Use these to decorate your classroom and to cover up the extra outlets to prevent students from charging their computers everywhere.
Bulletin Board Borders
You could have a few of these available if you want students to charge their computers if they forget theirs. Personally, I got sick of the students coming unprepared and trashing the chargers, so I stopped loaning them out!
