Overview:
You will shop on the BYO Recreation site to assemble an order, but you will not place your order with them. Rather, you will assemble the order and then email it to ClassWish for us to place.  Please follow these easy directions.
1.   Check Your ClassWish Account Balance and Get Your ClassWish ID#
  • Log into http://ClassWish.org.  Click “My Account” in the upper right corner of any page other than the home page.  The third tab, “Donations Received and Requests Placed,” shows your balance.
  • If you want more supplies than your balance allows, you can make a tax-deductible contribution to your own wish list before or right after you shop.
  • Please make note of your ClassWish account number, which appears within the URL of your wish list page.
2.   Shopping for the Playgrounds You Need
  • When you have donation funds to use (or are about to add your own funds), go to http://www.byoplayground.com/  (To see other vendors for other categories, please go to the home page of this ClassWish vendors site). 
  • Shop like you normally would; simply add items to your cart on that website.
  • Proceed to checkout.
  • Sign in as a guest or with your account, as you prefer.
3.   Follow the Process Below.
  • Shipping Address: You must provide the school address.  We cannot ship to your home.  Leave "Billing Address is the same as Shipping Address" for simplicity, you will not be actually purchasing the order.
  • Email: Please enter the same email address as you used to register with ClassWish.org.
  • Phone:  Provide the school phone # in case of delivery problems.
Now, prepare an email to submit your Request to ClassWish so we can place the order for you.  Include:
  • Copy and Paste the entire Shopping Cart (circled in green in the illustration to the right)  into that email.  Be sure it includes all the items, the freight, tax and total. 
  • Your school's shipping address (circled in green in the illustration to the right).  
  • Your school's phone #.
  • Disregard the Payment section. (the red X in the illustration to the right)
Do NOT provide your credit card info.  You are only using the BYO Recreation site to assemble the order, not to place it.
  • Your first and last name
  • Your ClassWish ID# (which will appear within the URL of your ClassWish wish list page)
  • The following statement, which you can copy & paste:
“I hereby request these materials from ClassWish.  I confirm that they are for educational use in my classroom or school, and not for personal use.  I will abide by the ClassWish.org User Agreement, which appears at http://classwish.org/classwish/user_agreement.

I understand that ClassWish will purchase these materials and will deduct from my ClassWish Wish List account the amount that appears on the shopping cart summary, including shipping and tax, if any.  

I further understand that ClassWish is donating these materials to my school for my use in my classroom.  

I agree that these items are not returnable.”   
 

If the total amount of your Request exceeds the amount in your ClassWish account, you can visit your ClassWish page and make a tax-deductible donation to cover the shortfall.  See if your spouse's employer will match that donation.
4.   Emailing Your Request to ClassWish
  • Please review the email to make sure your order is correct and that you did not skip any of the steps.
  • Please add this subject line:  Teacher request for BYO Recreation
  • Then just send that email to Request AT ClassWish.org  (be sure to change the “AT” to an @ sign.  Like many websites, we display it this way to reduce the risk of robots grabbing the email address for spamming.
  • Be sure to send the email to us from the email address you used to register with ClassWish, as that helps ensure the security of your account.  

If your order exceeds the amount in your ClassWish Wish List account, please visit ClassWish.org to make a tax-deductible contribution to your own wish list right after you place your request.
5.  What Happens Next 
  • We will check to make sure you have enough funds in your ClassWish account.  
  • If so, we will deduct the order amount from your ClassWish account.
  • We will submit the order to BYO Recreation (or another supplier) and pay for it.
  • We will send you a confirmation.
  • BYO Recreation (or another supplier) will ship the materials to you at your school.  
  • You and your students will get the resources you need.
  • You will tell other teachers so they can get support, too.  In fact, why not do that, right now?
