Scholastic Book Fair - May 14-17!

5/12/2018

 
Picture
We need parents to help during the book fair!  Please sign up here to help:  www.tinyurl.com/217BookFair 

Our Book Fair has a new DIGITAL PAYMENT option!
Scholastic has introduced a new way for students to pay at the book fair!

We will still accept credit cards and cash payments in -person, but parents now also have the option of setting up an online account for each child to use! No more struggling to find cash on the day of the book fair - and no fear of them losing it either!

Set up your account here: www.scholastic.com/bf/psis217rooseveltisl

Additional Details

  • You must create an eWallet for each student; accounts cannot be shared or transferred.
  • When you create an eWallet, the amount you select as your student's spending limit will appear as a temporary hold (or pending charge) on your credit card and will be reflected in your available balance. You will only be charged for what is purchased, and after the book fair ends, the hold will expire and the funds will be released back to your credit card.
  • Please let your classroom teacher and child know that they have an eWallet account!
  • Additional funds can be added to the eWallet at any time. You can also cancel funds. Track spending and see all activity in your order history through your MyScholastic account.
  • Student eWallets are looked up at the book fair using the student's name, grade, or teacher; eWallets do not have to be printed or presented to a cashier.
  • If any items purchased during the fair are returned, the amount will be credited back to your card. Processing times may vary. Contact your credit card company for specific information regarding your account.​
