Teachers play an indispensable role in students’ lives far beyond simply teaching them curriculum-related material. They provide encouragement, guidance, and life lessons – something to which we should give thanks! Especially during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 8-12) and Back-to-School season from mid-July to early September when educators can purchase items at discounted prices while taking advantage of special offers and rewards from various brands throughout the year.

Teachers in order to receive these discounts must present valid school ID or employment verification at retailers. In some instances, this may also require having an educator membership from a teacher’s union or association; others simply need an eligibility verification code from retailers. Some companies only offer teacher discounts during certain events throughout the year such as Teacher Appreciation Week and Back-to-School season.
