STUDENT BOOK FAIR SHOPPING

Monday, November 9  - Wednesday, November 11

Primary School students shop the Book Fair with their classrooms, while Middle and Upper School students may shop on their own time or with a class.

  • Parents of all students are strongly encouraged to talk with their students about their family’s expectations for Book Fair purchases. Primary School parents also have an option to set a spending guidance  and to chaperone their child during their class’s designated shopping time.
  • Want to make sure your child gets an author-signed copy? Pre-orders open 10/23.

PRE-ORDER VISITING AUTHOR BOOKS


Don’t miss the opportunity to secure signed copies of exclusive titles from our visiting authors. Use this order form to purchase books—whether for a student or as a special gift! All orders must be submitted by November 7, midnight.

Important notes:

  • For Primary School students: Pre-ordering is the ONLY way to receive an author-signed book. Students will not be allowed to get books signed on the day of the author visit without a completed form.
  • For Middle School students: Students may purchase books during the fair and have them signed by the authors. However, to guarantee a signed book, you will need to submit a pre-order form.
  • If you have children on multiple campuses, you may either:
    • Submit a separate form for each child, OR
    • Submit one combined order and indicate which homeroom/advisor you'd like the books delivered to.
  • For all book dedications, please limit to a first name or nickname. NO personal messages allowed. You can also indicate whether you prefer only the author’s signature. Personalized books are not refundable. All sales are final.
  • Faculty and staff may pre-order by entering your name in all applicable fields. Please be sure to indicate where you would like your order delivered.
  • Lastly, please remind your child of the books that were pre-ordered to prevent duplicate purchases.

If you need to inquire about pre-ordering or with other questions, please contact EJ Park.
