(FORT BEND ISD) - All students at FBISD Title I campuses will receive free school supplies at the start of the new school year in August thanks to existing federal funds from the Every Student Succeeds Act (Title I).

Fort Bend ISD’s Collaborative Communities, Title I and the Textbooks Warehouse departments worked together to obtain the supplies, get them shipped to the district, then distributed to each of FBISD’s 27 Title I campuses. Elementary school students will receive a 30-piece supply kit that contains: 1 single-subject spiral notebook, 3 double-pocket organizer folders, a zip top canvas pencil case, 5 pencils, 5 ballpoint pens, 5 crayons, 2 highlighters, a 12” ruler, 2 glue sticks, 1 pencil sharpener with dome lid, 5” blunt-tip safety scissors and 3 erasers. Middle and high school students will receive a 45-piece supply kit that contains: 2 single-subject spiral notebooks, 1 composition notebook, 4 double-pocket organizer folders, a zip top canvas pencil case, 5 pencils, 5 ballpoint pens, 5 colored pencils, 10 crayons, 3 highlighters, a 12” ruler, 2 glue sticks, 1 pencil sharpener with dome lid, 5” blunt-tip safety scissors and 4 erasers. District leaders will be on six campuses on the first day of school to personally issue the free supplies to students. FBISD leaders will be at:
• Glover Elementary • Goodman Elementary • Holley Elementary • Barbara Jordan Elementary • Mission Bend-Glen Elementary • Ridgemont Elementary
