How to use Target's school toolbox program to buy school supplies

Target offers a great program that makes school supply shopping a thing of the past. Check out this info to see how this program can be used by your child's school to make life easier for both parents, teachers and kids!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• A PTA or other school sponsored organization to be the contact for your school.

1. Check out www.schooltoolbox.com. This website explains all the details regarding this school supply program. The end result of this product is a fully stocked school supply box with items chosen by your child's teacher.
2. Get your school PTA, principal or teachers involved. Once you present this at your PTA meeting, parents will see how much easier preparing for the new school year will be for them. All they have to do is pay the predetermined amount and their child will have everything they need for the classroom.
3. Basically, your school' s teachers submit their required school supply list for the following year; Target gives your PTA a quote for the cost of each "toolbox"; Parents pre-order kits based on their child's class toolbox. No shopping for parents required! The kit is waiting for your child on their first day of school!

Tips & Warnings

• The summer is too late to have toolboxes prepared for the new school year, the ordering process must be arranged the end of the previous year, but it is never too late to think about next year!
• The best thing about this product (besides the ease for parents and the typically inexpensive price tag) is that all the kids have the same supplies. This removes the stress of some kids having "better", "nicer" or more supplies than others.
