2014-2015 School Supplies



The Wells Branch Elementary PTA is pleased to offer parents the opportunity to order classroom supplies for the 2014-15 school year.  Like last year, the PTA has partnered with SchoolKidz (a division of Staples) to give our members access to quality supplies at low prices.  And as always, the PTA has worked directly with WBE teachers to ensure your student’s supplies are exactly what they’ll need for the upcoming year.
When you order your school supplies through the PTA you:
Save money – the PTA negotiates significant savings based on our combined buying power.  In addition, we pass along an additional 7% discount directly to our parents.  This is not a fundraiser for the PTA.
Save time – Simply go online and choose the preapproved package for your student’s grade.  There’s no searching for supply lists, driving to the store, or hunting for 25-30 individual items. 
You can even add a new backpack, lunch bag, or water bottle to your order to give your student everything they need for the new school year.  All without leaving your home.
Save the aggravation – eliminate one item from your back-to-school list before summer even begins!  Avoid the hassle of crowded stores and ransacked shelves that occur every August.
Your student’s supplies will be waiting for them in their classroom, in a personalized box, on back-to-school night (August 21st).  And everything will be the correct size, color, and quantity.
Orders are accepted online through June 13th at www.shopttkits.com (use Acct # 92949).  You are welcome to use the computers in the Wells Branch Elementary PRO Center during regular school hours to place your order.  But don’t wait.  Before you know it, school will be over and the deadline will be here. 

If you have any questions, please contact Wendell Grimsley at vp@wellsbranchpta.org or 512.217.4073.
