Support the CPS "Back to School" Supply Drive!

CPS is currently sponsoring its annual "Back to School" supply drive. Below you will find the many ways to help CPS with the annual campaign.

Kits for Kidz

Through SchooKidz Inc., a Kits for Kidz program, donors have the opportunity to purchase essential school supplies—pens, pencils, glue and folders—to benefit the district’s homeless students. Kits range from between $11-$18, and are needed for students in all grade levels. Purchase a kit today and make a difference in one student's life for an entire school year.

Uniforms and school supplies
