[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid’s ES and MS uses School Toolbox. We order the box for the appropriate grade level and the box is delivered to the school. It works great. I believe orders were due earlier this summer, so you may have missed the deadline if your child’s school does this. [/quote] But they jack the price way up. We reuse stuff from the previous year (ie headphones and scissors) which keeps costs down. Each year the kit has new scissors and headphones. Those can easily be reused from year to year. We don’t need to buy those every year but you do if you purchase this kit. Ridiculous. DC is doing something right. Pay a fee and the school will give out the supplies. It’s way more cost effective and efficient. [/quote] THis is my thoughts. I wish I could pick the supplies for the box I need to order. My last kid is in first and I have plenty of some stuff but not another. We just bought our own stuff this year.[/quote]
