Scholastic Book Order Information

     Periodically, I will be sending home Scholastic book orders, there are now a couple of options for placing your order:

     1. Fill out the order and send it back to school with the exact amount of cash.

     2. Fill out the order and send it back with ONE check for the entire order made out to Scholastic.

     3. Place the order online.

           

Here's how it works:

                    Go to the web sitewww.scholastic.com/parentordering

                   1. Login using the Class User Name:  PayneBookOrders

                                                           Password:  Books

                   2. Browse the titles with your child, and place your order with your credit card.

                   3. Your order will come to me, and your credit card payment will go directly to Scholastic's secure server.

                   4. After I submit the entire class's order to Scholastic, your order will be delivered to our classroom for your child to take home.

     Thank your for choosing to purchase books for your child through the Scholastic book club program, with the bonus points I earn I continue to grow our classroom library.  In addition, our language arts classes will be participating in literature circles and we have several titles, which still need to be purchased, the bonus points will also go towards these purchases.
