Dear Parents,
As you may have noticed, Scholastic has changed their ordering and shipping process. Now, the catalogue that students receive only shows a few of the books available to purchase. There are many more online. In addition, all orders are placed online (no more cheques) and are then shipped right to your house.
Please use the following class code for your orders: RC149882
Thank you and happy reading!
Mme Allyson
