WELCOME, TEACHERS!
Start shopping for FREE school supplies!
Educators at eligible schools can shop for free school once a month through Classroom Central’s four programs.
Eligible staff includes full-time teachers, facilitators, counselors, media specialists, principals, assistant principals, deans, job coaches, family advocates, and ASEP coordinators. Support/administrative staff are ineligible, including teacher assistants and ASEP associates, nurses, custodians, or positions assigned to other departments.
Free Store
Our brick-and-mortar Free Store is located at 2116 Wilkinson Boulevard. During your appointment window, you’ll come in, grab a cart, and select all the supplies you and your students need! From basic core supplies to STEM activity kits and art supplies, there’s a ton to choose from at CC. See you at the store!
Mobile Free Store
The Mobile Free Store drives to all six school districts served by Classroom Central, making it easier for teachers who work furthest from our Free Store to receive free school supplies. You’re invited to shop at the Mobile Free Store when it visits your school district. Check the online schedule and make your reservation!
Teacher Launch Box
Once a quarter, Classroom Central will automatically deliver a box filled with free school supplies, seasonal supplements, and gifts directly to first-year teachers to equip them and their students for success. Check to see if you teach at an eligible school. Surprise, you’ve got supplies!
