Using TeacherLists supply lists<\/a> along with teacher rewards programs for back-to-schools supplies at favorite retailers will earn cash and discounts for schools and teachers\u2014and who couldn\u2019t use more of that right now?<\/p>\n

When teachers or school staff create their supply lists on TeacherLists, there\u2019s a section right on the list where they can share information about retailer rewards programs and instructions for families to buy items and make sure the school or teacher gets credit for the purchase. TeacherLists also has instructions for integrating lists with EdTech platforms, such as Smore<\/a>, RevTrak<\/a>, and MySchoolBucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A simple way for teachers to share supply list links is to add them to their class and school websites where parents can easily find them. When parents use the link to shop their child\u2019s exact list, schools and teachers benefit.<\/p>\n

Here are some nuts and bolts ways for teachers and parents to earn rewards at several top national retailers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Staples Rewards and Staples Classroom Rewards<\/h2>\n

Teachers<\/strong> who join the Easy Rewards<\/a> program earn up to 5% back in rewards in store and 2% back in rewards when they shop online for eligible items. Other benefits of the program include free delivery and no minimum purchase for a limited time only, and $2 back for each recycled ink cartridge. Teachers can encourage parents<\/strong> to earn Staples Rewards by adding a comment and instructions, including a rewards number, directly on their supply lists on TeacherLists.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Staples has a Classroom Rewards<\/a> program that gives recipient teachers extra savings when parents shop for school supplies online and in U.S. stores. To be eligible, teachers have to be a Rewards member, download the Staples app, and enroll as a recipient teacher in the Classroom Rewards program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For most of the year, teachers earn 5% back in rewards, up to $250 per quarter, when parents submit receipts for qualifying purchases. During the summer months, Staples lets enrolled teachers earn 20% back in rewards on eligible items, up to $250 per quarter, which is ideal when parents buy their child\u2019s exact school supply list on TeacherLists.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to tell parents about selecting a teacher recipient:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Visit staples.com\/classroomrewards<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Select \u201cAdd a Receipt\u201d in the parent section.<\/li>\n
  3. Select the teacher they\u2019d like to support.<\/li>\n
  4. Scan or type in the Staples receipt or order number and purchase amount. The order number can be found on the packing slip, delivery confirmation, or Staples.com.<\/li>\n
  5. Hit \u201csubmit.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Parents who are Rewards members still get to collect rewards for themselves when they enter a receipt for a teacher. Parents can also reward multiple teachers; however, they can\u2019t split reward earnings from a single receipt\u2014if they have multiple receipts, each receipt they submit can only go toward one teacher.<\/p>\n

    Teachers<\/strong> can use the Office Depot Office Max rewards program<\/a> to get discounts on items they need for their classroom.

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      For parents<\/strong>, Office Depot Office Max also offers a Give Back to Schools program<\/strong>. When parents purchase qualifying school supplies and provide the school\u2019s ID at checkout both in stores and online, the designated school receives 5% back in credits for free supplies, up to $3,000 per year. Participating teachers should be sure to provide their school\u2019s ID directly on their supply list.<\/p>\n
