[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As PPs have said, there is a prepaid option for parents. This really isn't that groundbreaking of a policy. You'll get your opportunity to overpay for prepackaged school supplies next year.[/quote]

Is the prepaid option at all schools? [/quote]

No[/quote]

It’s a PTA fundraiser disguised as a school program. Our ES had it, our MS doesn’t. It takes 5 minutes on Amazon to get the list and it costs a fraction of the price [/quote]

I spent $170 on amazon buying for two kids and still didn't get everything we need to buy. Probably some jacked up amazon costs on random products where it would have been cheaper to go to staples, but once I spent thirty minutes searching and ordering twenty random products, I could not be bothered to redo it on another website. Would have happily just given money.

So much more inefficient for the teachers and school who will get 7 different brand/style versions of roughly the same size folder, etc[/quote]

Go to Walmart,  not staples or amazon if you want to save money.[/quote]
