BOOK FAIR FAQ: 1. How will staff know if my child has an e-wallet and how much money is on it? We will have a list at each register by class/by student with their e-wallet balance and a bar code to scan We will also be distributing an individual slip for each child to each teacher so the child can have that with them at the Book Fair to shop **please make sure money is loaded on the e-wallet by midnight on WEDNESDAY! 2. Will there be bags for students to use to put their purchases in? Yes! We have bags that will be avilable 3. Will my child have help shopping? Yes, as much as possible. We have a few extra people on hand who can be on the floor as well as their teacher who can help them. We do encourage you to look at Scholastic online with your child and help them have an idea in their mind of what books they want. 4. Do book prices include tax? No, tax will be added at checkout so please keep in mind when adding funds for your child to spend 5. Can my child pay with cash? Yes, we can accept cash 6. What if my child has a balance on their e-wallet? The balance will be on your scholastic account to order books online or order books from the classroom fliers later in the year

Our Scholastic Book Fair is being held this Thursday and Friday! You may set up an E-wallet account through Scholastic and load money onto the account via credit/debit card (this is the preferred payment method but if not possible, you may still send cash). If you have more than one child at the school, please make sure to set up individual E-wallet accounts for each of them. If you need additional help setting up the account, please refer to your emails from your room reps, as they contain detailed instructions. You can print the E-wallet form and send with your child if you prefer, but we will also have lists of each student's E-wallet info and will assist them with shopping. Please remember that there will be no change given back to the student if E-wallet is used- instead, any balance will be left on their account to use at future bookfairs or online Scholastic purchases. Don't forget that you also have the option of inviting other friends and family members to contribute to your child's e-wallet funds. And ONE LAST THING! Our PTA is giving EACH STUDENT a $5 voucher..so everyone will have the ability to shop and receive a book! https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/cptoolkit/homepage.do?method=homepage&url=donrrobertselementary1&fbclid=IwAR12sJN57cuHUA4PIitOGj8n0O1IvCf3QHwYyd0qUGRYRm0BTMrN2fisOk4

Attention all new-to-Roberts families..this event is for you! Unfortunately, Covid has kept parents from being able to walk in their students the last couple of years and from being as involved as they might like to be! This in-person meeting will be a great opportunity to get acquainted with the PTA and other new families, and to have your questions answered. This event is being held at Trinity Presbyterian Church off of Rahling and will be safe, as it is an outdoor event. 👍🏻👍🏻 Can’t wait to see you there! Please make sure to RSVP on the event page if you are able to make the in-person time! 🙂 We will also offer a zoom meeting for those who feel more comfortable with that setting. We look forward to seeing you!
