Book Buying Day (2008)

Book buying day for the 2008-2009 school year is Thursday, August 14. Students will pick up their pre-bagged books according to the schedule below. Books will also be paid for at that time (cash, check, or credit card)

Grades 10 - 12

8:30 - 9:15

Last name beginning A - E

9:15 - 10:00

Last name beginning F - K

10:00 - 10:45

Last name beginning L - P

10:45 - 11:30

Last name beginning Q - Z

Grade 9

12:00 - 1:30

All freshmen (after orientation)
Freshman parents may also purchase their daughter's books according to the schedule above while their daughter is attending Freshman Orientation.

Prior to book buying day, you should receive a packet from the bookstore which includes a letter explaining the packet's contents, a description of book buying procedures, a copy of your course schedule, a list of books required for your courses, and a response sheet. This typically arrives at the end of June. It is imperative that you return your response sheet as soon as possible -- preferably before July 9.

The order in which the books are bagged is based on a lottery system. Those with lower lottery numbers have a much greater chance of getting all used books. Lottery drawings will be held every few days after the book packet is mailed out.

There is also an opportunity for students to assist with the book buying process. Students will not receive any special privileges in textbook selection. They will, however, earn money to be applied to their tuition. If you are interested in assisting with book buying, read the responsibilities sheet (included in the packet) and call the main office at 571-2618 to sign up. The number of workers is limited; selection is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
