Consumables are items that the student completely uses up while they are enrolled with our school and therefore cannot be used by another student.
Non-consumables are items that can be used again by another student.
All items in the following categories are considered non-consumable and must be returned as school property when you are done with them or when you withdraw from the school:
- Technology, Electronics, and Media (CDs/DVDs)
- Novels, Textbooks and Teacher Manuals
- Science Equipment
- Math Manipulatives
- Musical Equipment
- Athletic Equipment
- Games and Puzzles
Planning amounts are deposited into students' accounts twice each school year. Parents/guardians can spend up to the current account balance at any given time.
Your planning amount balance can be located in your child's Enrichment Ordering System account. Please contact your Homeschool Teacher for assistance.
No, the school cannot reimburse families for purchases made in the past, present, or future. All products/services need to be requested through the Enrichment Ordering System, approved by your Homeschool Teacher, and purchased by the school.
All items are purchased through the school with state education funds and are considered property of the school. Non-consumables need to be returned to the school office(s) when the student withdraws from the school. They may be returned earlier if the items are no longer needed for student learning.
We ask that you either return items to the school's library location or hand items back to your teacher at any meeting or at the end of each semester/school year. If your circumstances prevent you from returning items to the school's library or your teacher, please communicate with your teacher, so that alternate arrangements can be made.
Order times vary due to the amount of orders being placed daily by families. Wait times can run up to 4 weeks. High peak order times are July-September, December-January, and March-April.
No, please select your technology from the school Tech Catalog.
You can order ink through the Enrichment Ordering System as a product.
All potential vendors must go through a thorough vetting process. If the school is able to partner with requested vendors, approval times are often determined by how quickly vendors provide required information and documentation.
That is not a problem! Product/materials vendors do not have to be pre-approved for you to order from them. Please place your order using “Other Product Vendor” and your vendor will go through the approval process as your order is placed.
