The Bialik book sale is run by the Bialik Home and School Association, which is made up of parents who volunteer their time and are responsible for the book purchasing from various vendors, processing the students’ order forms, and the distribution of books to the students.

Students will be advised by the school when they should pick up their books from the BOOK ROOM AREA in the New Gym.
If not picked up when students are informed by the school, they will be in office for a few days, after which time the school cannot be held responsible for the books.One order and one payment per student name. Payments cannot be combined for 2 students in the same grade, or 2 students in different grades.
At checkout, you will asked to confirm the student's grade level, and their given and family names. You will than be asked for the parent's e-mail, name, address and payment method. You may choose to pay by cheque or PayPal. Choosing PayPal will permit you to use any major credit card.
PayPal payments will be processed, and your order confirmation will reflect that the order has been prepaid.
If you prefer to pay by cheque, you must indicate the student's full name, grade level, and order confirmation number on the cheque, and enclose the cheque stapled to a printout of the order confirmation you receive by e-mail.
Print out your order confirmation. Once printed please ensure the student name, grade level and confirmation number number are clearly legible. Enclose the order confirmation (check payments stapled to order) in an envelope with the student's full name, grade level indicated on the outside of the envelope.
The administration will advise the students on the designated day to pick up their book orders. It is very important that the students verify their bag of books as soon as they get them. Mistakes do happen, but verify this order first to ensure that you did order a specific book.
We understand that students do change classes and teachers and may need to change or order additional books. The Home and School volunteers will be available on a limited basis until Sept. 11th to handle additional orders and changes. In these cases, submit a new order form, following the same procedures. Books will be distributed until the morning of September 17. After September 17, please refer to the “Contact Information” tab at the top of the page for individual problem solving . If we can’t help, it is the students’ responsibility to purchase books on their own.
When making your book selection online, you may get a response that this book is on back order. Still order and pay for the book; the book will be reserved, and as soon as it arrives in school, the student will be notified on FirstClass.
Occasionally, we run out of books while they are being distributed; if so, a back order notice will be written directly on the student’s book bag at time of pick up. Again, when the book arrives, we will notify the student on FirstClass. It is the student’s responsibility to collect their book within 72 hours. Unclaimed books are not the school’s responsibility.
