CPS Back to School Fest

This beloved community event helps students and families get ready for a strong start to the school year with everything they need in one place.

Families can look forward to meeting school leaders, connecting with CPS departments and accessing valuable resources from more than 75 community partners. Free backpacks, school supplies and food are available, while supplies last. The event will also feature services to help students head back to school ready to succeed, including physicals, vaccinations and dental screenings. Tour a Metro bus and participate in a yellow bus safety experience. Plus, enjoy music, games, face painting, a selfie station and more!
