The Teacher's Supply Closet, in collaboration with the Community Assistance Center, allows teachers to request classroom supplies required for their economically disadvantaged students. These supplies are meant to supplement the supplies that students bring at the beginning of the year. Many local organizations, such as the Community Assistance Center (CAC) provide backpacks full of supplies for students to start off their school year. Your school’s social worker can refer families to www.ourcac.org if you believe the family could benefit from CAC's services.
If you are a teacher in a Sandy Springs school whose classroom students qualify as low-income students (those on Free or Reduced Lunch), please fill out the Classroom Supplies Request Form. Supplies are limited to the number of economically disadvantaged students that you have in your classroom. We will be accepting orders until April 30, 2023. We then begin again at the end of August 2023.
Your request form will be emailed directly to the Community Assistance Center (CAC). SSEF and CAC volunteers will pack and deliver your supplies to you at school. You will be informed if the delivery will take longer than two weeks. Please limit your requests to one per semester so that we may serve teachers in all of our schools.
Sometimes, our spam filters can interfere with communications. If you do not get a response that your order has been fulfilled within one week, please email: [email protected] or [email protected]
