Dear Parents,
The PTO is again sponsoring the opportunity for you to pre-order your child’s school supplies in an easy to pick up package through The School Toolbox. Below you will find some common questions and answers regarding this program. However; if your questions are not answered, please feel free to reach out to us via e-mail at byronpto@gmail.com.
Thank you for your support,
Amy Hoerle
Why School Toolbox?
Buying school supplies is one of those necessary steps we do to prepare our children for school. With the high gas prices and all of your other obligations this is an easy way to save you time, get your supplies for about the same price as your favorite retail store and earn a few extra dollars for the schools – Win, Win, Win!
What is included with the toolbox?
Each grade has their unique toolbox for common supplies such as folders, pencils and paper. Your teachers have worked hard to come together and create a common list of supplies for each grade. Thus, there are no “extras” in the toolboxes. Everything included you will be asked to supply by your child’s teacher in the letter you receive this summer.
Do I still need to buy additional supplies?
The toolboxes do not include paint shirts, gym shoes and backpacks. Also, since each teacher has their own unique teaching style they may request additional items above what is requested in the School Toolbox. If you have questions you can ask your child’s teacher at “Meet the teacher” next August. Please remember we have worked hard to make a common list and there are no “extras” in the toolboxes.
How do I order?
We recommend that you place your order online at www.schooltoolbox.com, register and enter the code 5BYRO55920. If you prefer to write a check you can print the order form and send to school with your child. Checks should be made out to Byron PTO.
What are optional items?
Some grade levels have optional items. This is a way for you to hand down higher priced items, such as calculators, between your children. Since the item is listed optionally it will NOT be included in your child’s toolbox unless you specifically order it.
When will I receive the toolbox?
For elementary students you can pick up your toolbox at “Party on the Playground” (August 29th) or “Meet the teacher” (August 30th). For middle school students you can pick up your toolbox at the “Walk the Halls” event. Watch for future information about these events.
Can I help?
Certainly! We are looking for volunteers to help process orders the week of May 9th and for assistance unloading the toolboxes at both the Elementary and Middle Schools next August. If you are willing to help, please contact us at byronpto@gmail.com
