Very Important!!! Requests should be fully researched and include quotes, price comparisons, research into the program of field trip, accurate costs, information about whether or not the district and/or the school already has the item, book or program, etc.

Please note the following request requirements:

Shipping: Unless there is a reason as to why an exact cost is not available, we need to have the exact cost of the item, including shipping. As fuel costs rise, the shipping costs are becoming more significant. Please remember that schools do not pay sales tax and we can not reimburse for sales tax. If you need a tax exempt form, they are available in the office.

Technology and Furniture: Please obtain prior approval from the Technology Department or Principal to ensure that the request is in compliance with school/district standards.

Please consider using Teacher Lists for smaller requests. (
