Save time, and support your PTSO and all students at BPCS by ordering your child’s BPCS-customized school supply kit through EduKit. Parents get convenient online shopping and home delivery — and every kit ordered raises funds to ensure that all students have necessary supplies. Online shopping is open until July 17th only! Here are more details:
To order, go to: https://www.edukitinc.com/schools/12468/
Kits for all grades are the same this year.
New this year: your kit will be delivered to your home so the shipping cost has been built in.
Please note: We have tried to minimize what each child needs for the coming year and have created this kit with that in mind. The supplies have been tailored to make sure they are usable whether students return to the classroom, continue remote learning, or combine the two.
There is an option to donate additional funds toward kits for families in need. We strive to make sure that all our students receive all the supplies they need, and we urge you to donate what you can.
Pay online through EduKit’s secure website and receive your order confirmation directly.
All money raised will go right back into the initiative to provide school supplies for all our students. If your child qualifies for free or reduced lunch or you want to inquire about scholarship opportunities, please reach out to wtmscoordinator@brooklynprospect.org. If you have any questions, please contact the PTSO at wtmsptso@brooklynprospect.org.
