Book Fair FAQs
When does my student visit the Book Fair?
Each teacher will schedule a specific shopping time for their classroom during the week. We will share a link with the full schedule as soon as it's ready. The Book Fair will also be open before school, after school, and during recess. We ask that kindergarten and first-grade students be accompanied by an adult during these times.
What types of books are available?
The fair offers books for ages 2 to young adult. You'll find award-winning titles and authors, non-fiction and fiction, many themes and genres, reference books, hobby books, skill builders, cookbooks, graphic novels, and more. Please talk with your student about what you'd like them to buy (e.g., only books, or one non-book item).
What non-book items are available?
You can also find items like posters, journals/diaries, puzzles, games, activity packs, fancy pens/pencils, knick-knacks, and bookmarks. Limited quantity available, only while supplies last. Please discuss with your student what you expect them to purchase (e.g., only books, or one non-book item).
What if my student buys a book I don't approve of?
If your child buys something that you find inappropriate, please return the book along with your receipt to the Book Fair for a refund.
What payment methods are accepted?
You can pay with cash, eWallets*, credit cards, and Apple Pay/Google Wallet.
Are purchases taxable?
Yes, all purchases are subject to tax. Tax charts will be available for students to reference, and volunteers will be on hand to assist students as needed.
How much money should I send with my child?
We recommend sending $25 to $30. If your child is buying small paperbacks, $15 to $20 should be enough.
How much do books cost?
Books generally range in price from $8 to $16 or more. There will also be a table with books priced at $5 and under.
Can family members shop?
Yes! Family members can shop with their student before school or after school. Just check in through the front office. Remember, kindergarten and first-grade students need to be accompanied by an adult.
How can I donate books to teachers, the school library, or other Seacliff staff?
There will be bins for purchasing and donating staff-selected books.
eWallet Account FAQs
What is an eWallet Account?
An eWallet Account allows cash-free payments for your student(s). Parents or guardians can set up the account using the student's name, grade, and classroom teacher. Please ensure that the information is spelled correctly.
How are purchases made with an eWallet?
At checkout, volunteers will look up the eWallet account on the cash register, either using the information you provide or through a barcode you print. If there are sufficient funds, purchases can be made and the total amount will be deducted from the account.
When can I set up my student’s eWallet Account?
You can set up the eWallet from January 9 to February 7.
What happens to leftover eWallet funds?
Any leftover funds can be used for online shopping at www.scholastic.com, or to fund an eWallet for next year’s Book Fair. You can also use leftover funds for other children in your household. Please note that leftover funds cannot be credited back to your credit card.
Volunteers Needed:
We can't do it without YOU! Please consider volunteering to help at the Book Fair. The story starts with you! You are welcome to volunteer, or just attend, during your student's class scheduled time.
