What is “Clear the List”? It’s a nationwide movement to support teachers by purchasing items for their school supply lists.

School will be back in session soon (some districts start in just a couple of weeks!) and teachers are already working hard to prepare their classrooms for the new 2024-2025 school year. This includes stocking up on school supplies for their students!

Did you know that many teachers pay for a majority of classroom supplies out of their own pockets? Yes, it’s true! Classroom supplies are not cheap and many school districts and families are struggling. This leaves many teachers to pay for school supplies themselves.

Teachers always go the extra mile for their students, so let’s show them how much we appreciate them by giving back and helping to fulfill their supply lists!

You can help by donating items from teachers’ Amazon shopping lists!

Teachers and educational professionals can head over to Amazon, create a classroom wish list, and then share their lists publicly. Anyone can ‘donate’ items that are on the list, and after donating, donors can even leave a note or message letting the teacher know how much they are appreciated. So awesome!

Even better, if you post your list on social media and tag Amazon with #clearthelist, you may find that your list is cleared BY Amazon! So cool!

Teachers, follow these steps to make your classroom wish list on Amazon:

  • Head over to Amazon and hover over Account & List at the top. Select ‘Create a List’ from the drop-down menu and name your list.
  • Hover over the three dots More menu on the right, and click Manage List to update your shipping address (this is important!) and other preferences like whether you want the list to be private or public. You can also designate whether your list is for an organization and if so, you’ll have the option to provide the website address of the organization.
  • Click ‘Save’ and then you can start adding items to your list!
  • To add items to your wish list, simply browse for products on Amazon and then click ‘Add to List’ under the Buy box on the right-hand side of any item’s product detail page.
  • Only list owners can make changes through Manage List. Both list owners and collaborators will be able to add and remove items.

If you’re a teacher, be sure to share your teacher list in the comments below so that readers can help clear the list! 🙌

Plus, treat yourself to something special with these teacher discounts!

    I work as a Special Education teacher at the high school level. My district has a high numbers of students from low income households. Every year I try to buy the things needed for these students to feel confident. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Hello,

    This is my 11th year in education and I would love if you could support my babies by purchasing anything off my list. I teach 8th graders and they are often the age group that need the most help but are overlooked the most.

    I work at a Title I school with 100% free breakfast and lunch for students. We aren’t given any budget to help offset supplies and we have to cover the cost of copies out of pocket. Any and every ounce of support is felt and carries us through the entire year. 🩷

    I will be going back to the classroom after a year long break. I’m excited to begin fresh at a new school serving students in kinder to 6th. I get the joy of helping students learn how to regulate their feelings. I cannot wait for them to be in my classroom!

    I am teaching in a 4th grade classroom on a US military base in Japan. I am returning to the classroom after taking time off to work with military families on early intervention ( families with children 0-3 that have additional needs.) Any help is very appreciated as we can’t apply for grants overseas. All shipping is to a military address so no additional cost.
