Can I use Maaser money to pay for a school supplies fee for a 5th and 7th grade girl?

 

Are you referring to parents or teachers using Maaser for this?

For teachers: If these supplies are used to enhance the children’s Yiddishe Chinuch (and not to ease the teaching experience of the teacher, or to improve their standing with the parents and/or administration), teachers may use Maaser to buy it for their students.

For parents: they may use Maaser to pay for the supply fee for boys who are six and up.
