NEW VIRTUAL BOOK SALE!
Visions will be holding a Virtual Book Sale next month on June 23, in order to provide an equal opportunity for all continuing Home School families to obtain various returned items at discounted prices. In the past, this event was hosted at our Carmichael Resource Center and therefore it was limited to those families who resided nearby or wanted to make the drive. This new “virtual” format will allow everyone in our nine-county region to participate online via a Google spreadsheet and Google form!
Items for sale
- Miscellaneous used items in only good to very good condition.
- Readers, novels, manipulatives, kits, supplies, resource materials, etc.
- All items are “as is” and not returnable
Previewing items
- A Google spreadsheet will be populated with the ISBN # or SKU #, title, description, and price, as well as a link to the item currently sold online.
- Families will have access to this spreadsheet at least two days prior to the sale.
Day of the sale
- A Google form will be shared with families via a Wire post, allowing them to enter the information of the items they want to purchase on the day of the sale. Each submission will have a time and date stamp verifying who “claimed” the items.
- The quantities in the Google spreadsheet will update in real time, so families can see what items are left when they are submitting their claim requests.
- Parents will be able to select “pick up” or “ship to” for the items they claimed.
After the sale
- Staff will process the orders in Launchpad with the amounts charged to the student’s 2017/18 budget.
- “Visions Book Sale 2017” will be listed as the vendor.
- Staff will sort, box and mail items to families.
