Accelerate Austin School Supply Fundraiser

Are you looking for a way to give back to the community and invest in the next generation? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you! 

At Austin Public School, our mission is to Inspire, Empower, and Accelerate as we prepare our learners to make a difference in the world. One of the ways we are working to support this mission is to ensure that all students start the school year off with the supplies they need to be successful.

Each year, the average family spends more than $100 on school supplies per student, a burden we know many families struggle with. To help with this issue, APS made the decision to move from separate school supply lists to a single-fee model for grades K-4. What this means is that, beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, families will be asked to pay a single $40 school supply fee per student instead of being required to purchase their supplies separately.

While this will help support all students, it does come at a cost. Last year, nearly 70% of APS families qualified for Federal Benefits via the Free Application for Federal Benefits, and we know that even a reduced school supply cost will still be a burden for many of our families.

If you would like to help support our students, please consider a donation to the Accelerate Austin School Supply Fundraiser. All moneys raised will go directly to providing students with needed school supplies to help ensure they start the school year off right.

Your donation will help make a huge difference in the lives of our students, and we really appreciate your assistance. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions. 

Together, we can build a stronger Austin Public Schools.
