School Start provides a needed service and does it very well.

Our School offered this service to our parents two years ago. They were very happy to see us continue the program this year. As a secretary, I hope the school always offers this program which is voluntary. It is a Win! Win! Win! Win! situation.

• Homeroom teachers can pick the supply; item, colour, quantity and size necessary for the grade and curriculum they teach. There is no waste. The school supplies arrive on time for the first day.
• Parents do not have to shop and worry about buying the wrong item or finding out the store they are at does not carry or has sold out of a popular item. Parents have the option to bring the order to school, or order on line and have a chance of winning $750.00 worth of free gas.
• Students start their first day of school with everything they need and have customized labels for all their belongings.

Thanks for your help with this, and also for your assistance with setting up our supply lists in the Spring. Your fast attention to mix-ups, etc. has been appreciated. We’re definitely using School Start again next year.

Thanks so much, these orders have been so seamless! Great job! We really enjoyed that we could have parents order online, especially the ones that are new and wanted to order in September.

School Start was great this year. I haven’t heard any complaints about the quality or quantity of the items included. The ordering process is fast and easy and you allow plenty of time for teachers to get their supply list to your company. I’m sure we will be happy to use your services again next year.

Parents really appreciate having an option to pre-order their school supplies instead of battling all the stores for the resources they will require for school. The products received arrive on time, are high quality and are well organized for teacher distribution

We want to thank you for the excellent service provided by School Start. All orders were received and delivery went very well. We were very pleased with the efficient service.

Noella

Ecole Beau Meadow School

We were very happy with the supply packages and deliveries. The green cloth bags were a real hit too as they didn’t break. Parents liked being able to order online. We only had one issue with the pencils but discovered that it was more of a sharpener issue. The Staedler rep fixed all that to our satisfaction.

We had no glitches or problems. I was very impressed with how organized everything came and when I wrote to ask for lists, I had them in under 10 minutes I am sure. It was an excellent program. We will for sure do it again next year. Thank you for the service. Hopefully, more parents will opt in now that we know how slick it is. Parents liked the no hassle of buying the stuff.
