Book & Material Checkout Process

Q: Do I have to come to REMC 2C to pick up materials?

We want to make sure getting your books and resources is as easy as possible! Depending on your district, we have a few ways to get items right to your door:

For Most Local Districts

If your school has a bus that travels to the Career Tech Building, you don't need to make the trip to see us!

Delivery: We will send your materials directly to your district via "bus mail."
Returns: When you’re finished, simply ask your school’s administrative assistant where regional mail is picked up. Your bus driver will bring it back to us.

For TCAPS Staff

TCAPS utilizes a dedicated mail courier that runs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They handle all REMC 2C deliveries and returns for every building in the TCAPS district.

No Bus? No Problem!

If your specific building doesn’t have a regular bus route to Career Tech, we can still help. We are happy to coordinate with a reliable student, a fellow staff member, even your neighbor!

Q: How long can I borrow materials?

Checkout Period

Need a Little More Time?

We know how classroom schedules can change! If you need an extension:

Just Ask: Send us a quick note or give us a call.
We’re Flexible: As long as another teacher isn't waiting for that specific item, we are usually happy to extend your due date.
Community First: Checking in helps us make sure every student in the region gets their turn with the "high-demand" robots and kits.

Stretching Your Budget Further with REMCSave

REMCSave is a statewide program that aggregates the purchasing power of Michigan schools to secure the lowest possible prices on everything from classroom furniture and art supplies to the latest educational technology. By using these pre-bid contracts, your district not only saves significant money but also bypasses the long, complicated bidding process. Most importantly, we vet these products to ensure they meet the quality and accessibility standards our students deserve. It’s our way of helping you keep more resources in the classroom where they matter most.

Why Michigan Educators Love REMCSave:

Automatic Compliance: All items are bid out following state purchasing laws, so the heavy lifting is already done for you.
Huge Savings: From single Chromebooks to entire building fit-outs, you get the "big district" price regardless of your school's size.
Local Support: Since we’re right here in the region, we can help you navigate the catalog and find the right fit for your specific classroom needs.
