Outfitting a classroom can be expensive! From basic supplies to classroom decor, the costs add up quickly, often coming out of the teachers’ own pockets. To ease this burden, many retailers offer special discounts for educators. These discounts help teachers get the supplies they need at a more affordable price, and lots of them work for school staff and homeschool educators as well!
If you are shopping in-store, make sure to bring your teacher ID with you as that is what most retailers require to give the discount. If you are shopping online, you’ll need to verify your credentials through sites like SheerID or ID.Me. It’s really simple to do and usually approves quickly.
