Chairperson Kit Arrives via UPS

The Chairperson Kit is an essential and first part of your holiday shop preparations, and it’s scheduled to arrive approximately 4 weeks before your sale begins. When you receive your Chairperson Kit, you’ll discover a range of materials designed to support you in organizing a successful holiday shop event.

Inside the kit, you will find:

• Parent Letters/Budget Envelopes: These colorful letters are meant to be distributed to students to promote the sale. The budget envelopes serve a dual purpose, allowing parents to jot down who the child is shopping for and providing a safe place to store money or gift certificates.
• Posters: Included in the kit are posters that you can strategically display around the school, such as in the lobby, hallways, or other high-traffic areas, to create excitement and awareness about the upcoming holiday shop.
• Chairperson Manual/App Information Flyer: The flyer directs you to this manual, which contains valuable information to assist you in navigating the holiday shop process. On the reverse side of the flyer, you will find an explanation of our cash register app, outlining its functions and the benefits it offers to streamline the checkout process.
• Holiday Shop Bucks (if selected as a bonus): If your school has chosen holiday shop bucks as a bonus, you’ll find them included in the kit. Holiday shop bucks are a helpful resource for children who may need financial assistance with their purchases. One common approach is to involve the teachers by asking them to identify students in their classrooms who might benefit from these bucks. To make it an enjoyable experience for the selected children, consider creating a playful, pretend drawing that makes them feel like lucky winners. You can then provide these children with a predetermined amount of bucks, which you can decide, ranging from $1 to $5.

Additionally, your Chairperson Kit includes login information to access the Chairperson Portal. You can also find a link to the portal in the header of this site for easy access. We strongly recommend taking some time to explore this portal before your sale. Within the portal, you’ll discover a range of features, including the ability to customize your MySchool Parent Website. This customization allows you to add important details about your sale, such as the schedule or any special information that families should know. Once you’ve updated your school’s website on the portal, you can begin promoting your upcoming sale. Share the custom MySchool Parent Website URL with students’ families through email and various social media channels. To make this even more convenient for you, we’ve provided pre-made social media blocks in the portal’s marketing toolbox. These blocks are ready for your use in your promotional posts, saving you time and effort.
