Scholastic Book Orders

• We have signed up our classroom to be able to order books from the Scholastic Book Club!

• We will be sending home catalogs in upcoming weeks or you may only order online at any time. Ordering online provides you with a greater selection of books and the ability to search details and deals. The books ordered online will be sent to the school and then placed in your child's backpack when it arrives. Make sure to enter our Classroom Code ( JGRKX ), which tells Scholastic where to ship the books.

• If you chose to order using the paper catalog sent home, please send your payment in a check or money order to school and we will enter the order online for you and send your check in the mail to Scholastic. The books will be sent to JELV and we will send them home in your child’s backpack when they arrive.
