ORDER 2011-2012 SCHOOL SUPPLIES
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, MAY 20th!!! ORDER BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!
Ordering school supplies has never been easier. Not only will they be in your child's classroom on the first day of school, but as of May 9th, you can order them online. This is a "no hassle" way to get your required 2011-2012 school supplies at great prices. We offer this as a service, not a fundraiser. We pass our cost savings to Kipling parents.
Online will end on Friday, May 20th. Unfortunately, after this date, we will not be able to take orders for the pre-packaged school supplies. Ordering will only take place online. There will be no forms sent out or e-mailed. Please note, District 109 School Fees are separate from school supplies.
A special note to parents of 4th and 5th grade students: if you choose not to order the full package of school supplies from the PTO, and to shop for those on your own, please notice there is a mandatory "Binder and Folder" option on RevTrak. These specific items are not readily available in area retail stores. Purchase of these items is strongly encouraged by Ms. Moseley.
Beginning May 9th, go to the following website, and place your order(s).

If you have any questions regarding the website, please contact Michele Katz at 847-607-0907 or kiplingwebstore@gmail.com. If you have any questions regarding the school supplies, please contact Ellen Kingsepp at elkingsepp@gmail.com or Mimi Saks at mimisaks@gmail.com.
CONFIRM YOUR YEARBOOK ORDER
Please see the attached document for a list of students with confirmed yearbook orders. There will be some extra yearbooks for people who did not order at the beginning of the year, but supply is limited. If you have questions, please contact Ilana Birg at ibirg@comcast.net .
