Ontario Launching Classroom Supplies Fund to Support Elementary School Teachers and Students

March 11, 2026

Our government is making record investments so that our students have the support and supplies they need to succeed and grow in school.

We know that many teachers have been paying out of pocket for supplies, and that isn’t fair for teachers or students.

While school boards receive funding for classroom resources, we have not always seen those dollars consistently reach every classroom.

That is why our government is launching the Classroom Supplies Fund to provide elementary school homeroom teachers with direct access to $750 in funding each school year for classroom supplies.

Beginning in September 2026, homeroom teachers can order classroom supplies directly through a new provincial website, with items such as writing supplies, notebooks, calculators, chalk, arts and crafts materials, tissues and paper towels.

It’s just one of the ways we are supporting our students and teachers and ensuring Ontario’s education system is focused on student success and helping them reach their full potential.
