Students can receive free backpacks and school supplies while supplies last. Families can also visit a resource fair, connect with community organizations, meet district staff and get help with school enrollment before classes begin.

Enrollment ambassadors will be available to assist families with last-minute registration, including those whose children are not yet enrolled in a TUSD school.

Families should attend the Family Resource Center closest to them:

• Catalina Family Resource Center: 3645 E. Pima St.
• Palo Verde Family Resource Center: 1302 S. Avenida Vega
• Menlo Family Resource Center: 1100 W. Fresno St.
• Southwest Family Resource Center: 6855 S. Mark Rd.

When they arrive, families should check in at the entrance and provide their children's names and the TUSD school they attend.

The event is hosted by TUSD's Family and Community Engagement Department and Family Resource Centers as part of the district's back-to-school outreach efforts.
