Recommended Tools and Supplies
Students should bring school supplies appropriate for
note-taking in both the classroom and shop. Some classroom work requires the use
of a calculator. A scientific calculator is recommended, however a basic
calculator will be adequate.
The Ritop School has a fully equipped wood shop, paint room and
an extensive selection of hand and power tools available for your use. We request that all
students utilize the tools we have available; it is recommended that you do not
bring your own tools.
Recommended Clothing
Students should bring clothing appropriate for New England
weather. Ritop is located near Boston and within close proximity to the ocean
and beaches for warmer weather enjoyment and a short drive to fall and winter
recreation areas for winter sports.
For safety reasons, closed toe shoes are required at all
times
October through March
Extra blanket, warm boots, socks, gloves, hat, thermal
underwear, sweatshirts and jeans for both school and free time and a winter coat
(layers of clothing are best).
April through September
Light jacket, spring and summer clothes. Bring clothes that
are comfortable to wear: jeans, shorts and T-shirts for school and free time.
Housing Necessities
If you are staying in the studio apartment housing, you may want to bring an alarm clock, radio, small
appliances, coffee maker, phone, toaster oven, and microwave oven for your room.
For those students staying in the hotel facility, these items are provided in
your room. Please feel free to bring whatever else you would like to make your room as
comfortable as possible. Please be aware if you choose to bring a stereo or boom
box for your room, no loud music is allowed. You will have neighbors, so if you
like loud music please bring headphones.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us
prior to your arrival at the school.
