According to Huntington Bank's 13th Annual Backpack Index, the average back-to-school costs adds up to $1,017 for elementary students  and over $1,600 for high school students for school supplies, extracurricular fees, and technology (this includes the cost of a laptop and internet access at home, which are often needed for school work). Thankfully, there are resources  available for Northshore families who may need some support for preparing for back-to-school.

Also, many Northshore schools and local PTA/PTSAs host welcome or back-to-school events for their school communities.
