There's more to consider than just what supplies to buy this year (though we'll help with that too.)


GET 20% OFF: Back-to-school shopping just got easier! Teachers and college students can score 20% off one item with Target Circle 360.


Next semester doesn’t start for another month, but back-to-school shopping season is already in full swing for teachers and college students. This year, Target is offering teachers, school staff, and college students with a brand-new Target Circle 360 membership a 20% discount on select in-store and online purchases. (Existing Target Circle 360 members aren't eligible for this offer.)

Educators have until August 24 to take advantage of this deal, while students have a little more time, with the offer lasting until September 28.

All you need is a valid ID to prove your status as a teacher, school staff member, or student. (A class schedule or tuition receipt will do if you don't have an ID.) Then, create or sign in to your Target account, join Target Circle 360, and verify your eligibility to start saving by uploading your proof of status. Once you’re set up (and verified), you can start checking off your back-to-school list.

Teachers and school staff can join Target Circle 360 with a free trial or $49 annual membership (regular $99 per year), while students can join for $4.99 per month (regular $10.99 per month).

Note: This offer is only valid on eligible items for new Target Circle 360 members. Existing members are not eligible. Read the fine print and restrictions before heading to the store or website.
