Square One Art Products- Possible Delay in shipping
We regret to inform you that on 12/13 Square 1 Art notified us that due to high seasonal order volume and a snow event at their production plant, there is a chance our orders will not arrive before winter break.
They are trying their best to ship them in time for delivery by Thursday, December 21st. As soon as they arrive, we will send them home with those students who ordered.
The art department understands that this is an inconvenience for our families and we are keeping our fingers crossed that Square 1 is able to deliver our orders before winter break. Thank you for your patience.
