Dear
Parents,
The PTO is
again sponsoring the opportunity for you to pre-order your K – 8 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 “Meet
the teacher” (August 28th). 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 unload the toolboxes at both the Elementary and
Middle Schools next August. If you are
willing to help, please contact Amy at byronpto@gmail.com.
