Do the calculator and electronic chinese dictionary need verification from the school.

I noticed that DS's calculator has a sticker from the school.
Thinking of getting a spare one just in case but if need sticker then better don't buy.

How long has your DS been using this calc. If too long then might be a good idea to change batteries.
DS school allows only one calc, we got the new one certified.

Ds2 went to popular to stock up stationary. But wasn’t sure of correction tape - to buy or not to buy that is the question.

Yes, all calculators and e-dictionaries need to be certified with a sticker from the sch. All of DD's classmates bought an extra calculator to be certified by the sch...just in case..
