Scholastic Online Ordering

By mgallo | Published: August 31, 2010

Hello Parents,

If you plan on ordering books through Scholastic, consider ordering online. Every time you order online, the class can choose a $3 book for free! Students should have brought home an order form with instructions on how to order online. If your son/daughter did not, please let me know, and I’ll be glad to send home another one. Scholastic changed their format a bit. Please let me know if you are having an issue ordering online. Thank you!
