sheli Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 This is only supposed to be available to school staff, book fair staff and homeschool parents...not a general public offer: Our warehouses are working sites for most of the year. But twice a year at the end of each season, we open our doors and offer super values on books, software, gifts, and more. It's our way of thanking you for your continued commitment to the education profession and helping children become life long learners.

No one even asked me when I entered. If asked I would have just said volunteer. These sales are great I got about 15 books last time for about $40 after using the $10 off coupon last time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warehouse Sales are exclusive to Book Fair Chairpeople & Volunteers, Registered Homeschoolers, and School Personnel; Principals, Administrators, Faculty, Teachers, Librarians, and Media SpecialistsI think this is technically true, but I also know that they do not check. I also know that I received invitations from two sources (both knew that I did not meet this criteria) - one an employee of Scholastic and the other was my son's school. I got some great deals, and plan to go again (without the grabby kiddos this time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kselzer Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 There were a few kids at the one I went to. They had a person dressed up as Clifford at the one in Grove City, Ohio, it was cute. So definately child friendly, at least here anyways :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopnMom Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 If you ask me, anyone with a child at home is a homeschool parent.Not hardly! There is a big difference in helping with homework and taking complete responsibility for your child's education and the academic decisions made pertaining to that education.

hannahs_momma Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I agree I think a parent is a huge part of child's education! I am not a so called home school parent but at age 3 my daughter can read! So guess what I think I should be able to attend to get her more books as I am homeschool her at the moment!

Junebug2 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Not hardly! There is a big difference in helping with homework and taking complete responsibility for your child's education and the academic decisions made pertaining to that education.Just depends on how you look at it and how involved you are with your child's education. Some parents I know do more for their kids education than their teachers do. And like Hannas_mom said, her daughter is reading at 3 because she taught her. Yes, I realize that an "offical" homeschool teacher has a much more responsibility but for those who are teaching their young ones or supplementing their child's education shouldn't be excluded.

theboyzmom Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 As far as SCHOLASTIC goes, I'm sure they mean registered homeschoolers as per their book clubs....I'm a homeschooler and I buy from their book clubs all the time Now, don't flame me cause I totally agree with parents working with their kids...I was about "this close" to homeschooling before with all the work I was doing with my kids If you go to the web site, you might be able to do some searching and join a 'sign up' and click on special events, sales, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. Honestly, my life got considerably easier when I pulled my ds out of school to hs him because at least his curriculum met HIS needs and we were done with schoolwork by noon instead of 7 or 8 o'clock every night. And I am in total agreement that any parent of a preschool aged child is homeschooling them. Whether they are aware of it or not. Kids that age just absorb so much..........

trbarginhunter Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Scholastic does not seem to care too much who is at these sales. I was a book fair volunteer when our daughter was in elementary school, but in middle school we do not have book fairs....but I still receive emails and postcards from Scholastic...and I still spend a LOT of money at their sales. Although I have never taken our daughter to the sale (it just hasn't worked that way) I would recommend a jacket (that warehouse is cold) and some hand wipes (it's really dusty) for the kids. Most parents I see with kids also bring "clean snacks" nothing chocolate,etc. No one seems to mind the kids, although I think the parents end up buying even more books! Don't forget to check for Klutz kits (great b-day gifts), cook books (again great gifts), and small items for goodie bags and stocking stuffers. I will say to watch what software you buy--check the operating systems. A friend bought some software that was significantly out of date and caused a lot of computer problems. (Sorry--not a techie type and I don't know the details). Enjoy the Sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovichtj Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hello, just a heads-up that the warehouse sales are coming again starting May 10. Here is a link to the generic warehouse site; you can pick your location and register for the $10 off $50 coupon, as well as get the specifics on sale dates :) http://www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/events/warehouse/ Thanks,Joanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ialady44 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Are the prices at the warehouse sale basically the same as what they are in the twice monthly fliers that come home from school? They books in those flyers are anywhere from .95 to $3.95 for the most part and that seemed to be the prices at the warehouse sale I attended last year. Anyone have good feedback on that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyzmom Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 the prices REALLY vary...the sale I went to a few months back was in price catagories...$5, $3 and $1 however, I think that changes with each sale they do as well I got some books that were in the flyers for $8 for only $1 but I paid $5 for a couple of books that were probably that price when they were in the flyers... it's a good opportunity to 'see before you buy' at Scholastic prices and sometimes there are books you didn't order and wished you would have, etc And even though it seems teachers send TONS of those flyers home, you have NO idea just how many are available...since I'm homeschooling and signed up for the book clubs, I get about 10 clubs a month from them!!! So there are books they carry that you've never seen cause your teacher doesn't subscribe to ALL the club lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyers12345 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 For those of you who don't live close to a warehouse, our school is having the half price book fair this week. You may check with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'm pretty sure that ours have always been half off the cover price. And if you register for a "fast cart pass" you get an online coupon to print out for $10 off any purchase of $50 or more (which isn't hard in my house, especially with summer reading lists and a new niece/nephew on the way.)
