Box Tops
Whether you are shopping in the store or ordering groceries to be delivered to your home during these uncertain times, you can still submit your receipt and earn Box Tops for OCE now and throughout the summer.
Just forward your email receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com. You can also continue to scan your receipts using the Box Tops app on your phone. Make sure to assign a teacher to your account and earn rewards for your class!
School Supplies Orders
Not only will we receive a larger percentage of the sale for the school, but supplies will also be shipped directly to your house - no more Clopening pick-ups or first day of school scramble for supplies. In addition, you can opt out of supplies you already have at home from previous years or students!
Here is a quick rundown:
- One click ordering makes back-to-school shopping simple!
- All lists are teacher approved
- Parents can customize orders (buy only what you need)
- Quality, name-brand products you trust
- Low prices and next-day shipping to your home
- The school gets half the profits!
Register for a coupon code here and get 20% off your order if you order in May!
Then click here to order before July 1st to ensure you have school supplies before the start of the 2020-21 school year. Again, supplies will be shipped directly to your home, so if school doesn't start in the building on time, you'll have them ready to go for when we do!
Download the flyer below for more detailed information on how to order and find your child's class list.
* Kindergarten supply lists will be handed out during staggered entry when school returns.
