Services

Start-up order timeline
Please remind your schools that this year there is no deadline for “school start up orders” and that we highly recommend the following:

  • In order to ensure delivery before the start of school, we encourage order placement prior to the end of the school year. This will allow our Purchasing Agents time to purchase, our warehouse time to receive, pull, pack and reship items requested by your schools.

  • Be certain the delivery requested date is clearly indicated on each order.  On Supply Link when creating a cart you can enter desired delivery date. As always, we will confirm summer delivery dates with your administrative office.  

Important Note
For districts using cash accrual accounting, requiring a 9/1 billing date, please e-mail pbritz@kcda.org so we can enter that information into our database.
