I also am in need of some sort of way to keep track of inventory for our Santa shop next year. We did this for the 1st time last December and it was fun...but I know we lost items/money because we did not have a clear way to keep track of what we had vs. what we should have.
We have about 500 students also at our K-2 school. We only use items that are $1.00 by purchasing at the $1.00 store itself, oriental trading, wholesale places online etc.
Roughly we go through about 5000 pieces. It averages to about 10 per student which seem to have worked for us. HTH
Good Luck it hard work but alot of fun!!!
