The tent school also collects students' wishes and posted on a board outside.
University teacher Zhang Wenju said they will bring the board back to Chengdu and share it with college students.
"I want to return to Bao-xing. I want to bring food to mom and dad," one post said. Baoxing is one of the counties hardest-hit by the earthquake, with 26 dead as of Sunday.
Students in Baoxing are expected to resume class in tents within a week, at least for the Grade-12 students first, according to Han Bing, Party chief of the county.
A total of 410 students and 30 teachers from the 12th grade at Lushan High School will set out to Southwestern University of Finance and Economics on Tuesday to resume classes in Chengdu, China Central Television reported.
Lushan county has 38 primary and middle schools and one high school.
Wang Dong, deputy chief of Lushan county government who is in charge of education, told Xinhua News Agency that except for senior students, the school schedule remains unknown because of the damage to school buildings.
Education Minister Yuan Guiren told China Daily on Sunday that senior students in Ya'an would resume classes on Monday, and schools in other disaster areas would gradually resume.
