What Districts Are Saying
“TeacherLists was a huge upgrade for our supply list distribution this year. I simply submitted the supply lists from our three campuses to TeacherLists, and they created a uniform, organized and easy to read list that can be used as a shopping list or turned into a shopping cart at your favorite retailer. It is able to be embedded into our website so it stays in a trustworthy place for our families to find. One of our parents quickly commented on our Facebook post we shared for school supplies how helpful this was to them. I can only imagine how much easier this would make back-to-school prep for districts with more than three campuses.”
