Below are printable PDFs of this year’s CCS school supply lists. 

If you prefer to have a text/translatable version of these lists, access the Google Doc version here. 

If you have any questions, please call your school.

We’re excited to announce that we’re able to provide backpacks and school supplies for students in need for another year! 

Forms are now open for families to request assistance with school supplies (one form per student). Click your student’s school name below for the correct form. Supplies will then be waiting for your student when they arrive at their school’s open house or meet-and-greet for the new school year.

Save the Date for the Better Together: Back-to-School Block Party—on Sunday, August 10, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, stretching from the Cherry Avenue Boys & Girls Club to Forest Hills Park.

This free, family-centered event is made possible through the strength of our combined community partnerships. We’re honored to collaborate with:

Flow Toyota of Charlottesville, the 100Cuts Initiative, DREAM Clothing, Prolyfyck, Mahogany and Friends, Sentara, the Black Professional Network of Charlottesville, and the 100 Black Men of Central Virginia to make this day unforgettable.

There will be something for everyone—music, food, bounce houses, basketball, a game truck, story time, and even a shady tree to enjoy a good book under. But most importantly, we’ll ensure students are ready to thrive on day one.

Here’s what families can expect:

For more than a decade, the African American Pastors Council’s Back-to-School Bash at the Ting Pavilion has been a cherished tradition in our community. Their work has touched the lives of tens of thousands of families and laid a strong foundation of service and support. This year, the Pastors Council is passing the baton, and while they will not be hosting their annual event, we remain deeply grateful for their leadership and lasting impact.

Charlottesville City Schools and the Back 2 School Bash committee are committed to carrying this torch forward with this block party as well as Cville Schools’ process to provide free school supplies for those in need, both of which have been happening independently for the past two years.

In order to make this opportunity a success, we are asking for the support of our generous community. If you would like to help, you can purchase supplies directly from our Amazon wishlists (below).
