I don't know of any websites but I would try calling a nearby church and asking for assistance. They usually can help or find out who can help.
Also I would look up a weekly circular from some of the stores around your area as there tend to be some pretty good deals this time of year. Where I live right now Office Max, Office Depot, and Staples all have 1 penny spiral notebooks. Office max has 10 pencils for 5 cents and crayola crayons and school glue for 15 cents. Office Depot has fifty cent highlighters, binders and glue. Staples has 25 cent composition notebooks and rulers, and 50 cent retractable pens, mechanical pencils, and plastic school boxes. Many office supply stores are offering rebates on copy paper as well making a whole ream cost as little as fifty cents! Walgreens has 50 cent dividers and colored pencils, as well as 29 cent pens and two pocket folders are 6 for a dollar. Dollar stores are also a good option. The dollar trees in my area are selling Scientific calculators for a buck, and scissors in two packs.
The real expenses are probably school clothes/uniforms, shoes, backpacks, and lunchboxes (if they don't get free lunch from the school). You can save by buying gently used clothing and backpacks from thrift stores (And its not like they outgrew every last piece of clothing either), and checking out the clearance aisles for new shoes. Or if their old shoes still fit and aren't totally trashed sometimes a good spin through the washer is all it takes, plus maybe a set of shoelaces from the dollar store. If you do purchase new shoes I'd recommend getting darker colored shoes a half size big to allow room for growth. Dark shoes don't get dirty quite as fast and look better longer. Pay-less has some good sales and right now and Walmart has several kids shoes for $10-20 a pair. If buying uniforms is too expensive contact the school, often times they have extra clothes or know of someone who can help get clothes.
Best of luck :)

I don't have a kid, but seems like the society make a big deal "going back to school"?
Eric C
and I didn't grow up here. All the TV ads these days are gearing towards the back to school sales. Are parents here really get their kids all new cloth, new computer, new backpack, new stationary every year after the summer? is it so important to kids to wear new cloths going back to school? is your kid be judged by how he/she dressed in school? what about that thing called "study"??
Answer
It was very common for me to get new clothes (for school and the winter) right before school starts. I would also get supplies: Notebooks, calculator, pens, pencils, etc. at that time.
Retailers are pushing the back-to-school sales right no, since, because of the economy, sales are down sharply.
On the other hand, my wife always got her "school" clothes in November ... when fall and winter clothes make their way to the clearance racks.
