eWallets - easiest and safest way to pay!
Each Scholastic homepage is school specific. If you have children across multiple buildings you need to set up the eWallet from each school specific Scholastic homepage for each child.
🥧 Conference Comforts is Back! 🥧
Help us make conferences special for our Teachers and Staff by bringing the comforting tastes of the season with PIE!
Sign up to donate a store-bought pie (or other items) to share with our amazing staff during November Parent-Teacher conferences.
Each school's PTO VP will be reaching out to those who sign up to give them more information on when and where to drop off your pie.
