Benefits
Listed below are some of the many advantages of using the School Tool Box™ Program!

• Consistent - Students have the exact school supplies for their grade.
• Convenient - The hassle of going store to store in search of the proper supplies is alleviated. And parents can still pay by credit card.
• Cost Saving - Primary School Supplies purchases direct from manufacturers, then sells direct to the schools. The School Tool Box™ is less expensive than purchasing individual items from retail stores.

 

 

• Quality Products - We are committed to providing students and their teachers with the best tools to enhance the education process. We have the expertise to know which products perform best, from name brands like Acco, American Scholar, Avery, Bic, Crayola, Dixon, Elmers, Fiskars, Helix, Kimberly-Clark, Mead, Newell, Papermate, and Sanford.
• Risk-Free - Neither the school nor the PTA/PTO is obligated to purchase any unsold School Tool Boxes™. Primary School Supplies gladly accepts return of all unsold boxes.
• Teacher Approved - The School Tool Box™ is teacher approved! Teachers like the fact that all students have the same supplies, helping to heighten learning.
• We Work with You - Stores and teachers don't work together to coordinate supply lists. That is why so many items teachers request can't be found at the local discount store. Because we are not limited to shelf space and because you pre-order, we are able to provide even the most unique requests from your teachers.
• Fund Raiser - The School Tool Box™ is an excellent opportunity to raise funds for your school.
• No Sales Tax - Schools purchase the supplies tax-free, increasing your savings.
• Easy to Administer - Running the School Tool Box™ program requires minimal effort. One person takes orders in the spring and forwards them to Primary School Supplies. When the School Tool Boxes™ are received, that person distributes them at registration or when school resumes in the fall.
• Discounts - Primary School Supplies will award discounts to schools for early orders, early payment, and referrals.

"Working with School Tool Box was a fabulous experience. This process was something I had never done before, but STB made it very easy. The students were thrilled with their boxes--no shopping trips with big crowds and low stock."
