🎒✏️ Great news as we get ready for the 2026–2027 school year!
This year, all school supplies will be provided for your child by the school! Families do not need to purchase the usual classroom supplies such as pencils, notebooks, crayons, markers, folders, scissors, glue, and more.
Families are only asked to provide:
🎒 A backpack
🍎 A lunch box, if needed
💧 A refillable water bottle
We hope this makes preparing for the new school year a little easier for our families. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We can’t wait to welcome our Dragons back to school! 🐉📚❤️
Growing Stronger, Soaring Higher!

Upon check out, Giant customers can round up their purchase amount at the register to support CCPS’s food and meal programs. CCPS received over $9,000 in donations last year that was used to help support families that receive McKinney-Vento supports such as food outside of the school day. The McKinney-Vento homeless assistance act supports the education of children who are experiencing homelessness.
Giant Food offers the Round Up program annually to assist with raising funds to address childhood hunger throughout local public school systems. To learn more, visit https://giantfood.2givelocal.com/.
