Frequently Asked Questions:
PTOs and Schools FAQs:
How does the BSK supply kit program work?
We build a grade-specific supply kit based on your school’s actual supply list. Parents order online, kits are delivered, and your PTO earns fundraising revenue on every sale.
When should we start planning for back-to-school?
January is ideal, but it’s never too early. The earlier you start, the more flexibility you have on customization, pricing, and delivery.
Does BSK offer fundraising?
Yes. A portion of every kit sale can automatically go back to your PTO, depending on setup.
Districts and Bulk Buyers FAQs:
Does my Indiana district need to go through a bid process?
No. BSK is an ECPA member, which means Indiana districts can work with us without a public bid process.
Can BSK deliver to multiple school buildings?
Yes. We organize every order by building and teacher name and deliver directly to each location.
Do you offer mid-year restocking?
Yes. Contact us in the fall for December or January delivery.
Parents FAQs:
How do I find my school’s ordering portal?
