Book Ordering: Several suggestions were made regarding the purchasing of textbooks and classics and also on making the website more user friendly. If anyone has suggestions they are encouraged to email Dean Gordon at sgordon@glendaleprep.org and Mr. Hill at chill@glendaleprep.org.
It was noted that Scottsdale Prep orders their classics and textbooks from Barnes and Nobles and at an appointed time go in and pick them up pre-bagged. Mr. Hill will follow up to see if this is possible for our school.
Discussion regarding families who are not financially able to purchase uniforms and/or books took place. Collette’s has given a very generous 75% discount on uniforms for a family this year. It was suggested that we purchase through the scrip program gift cards for Amazon and Barnes and Noble to purchase supplemental books for families with financial needs
