Bundles

• The State may define bundles for titles– The title is a bundle that consists of:

• Teacher’s Edition• 25 Student Editions

• When you order, you order the bundle– “I want 5 bundles of this title”

• After you receive the bundle, you “unbundle” the various titles and copies….and then barcode whatever needs to barcoded– Once a bundle is “unbundled”, you can’t return it as a bundle

• LUNCH!

New Service

• Follett assists your district with setting up batch process for loading student data and schedule data– New students added– Existing students updated

• Follett works with your district tech staff for up to 30 days to validate the process is working correctly, and they are prepared to monitor and support the process

• About one week to complete work once started

• We would prefer that you get this process completed no later than 2 weeks prior to start of the school year
