Welcome, Charter Families!
Purchasing with charter funds…
…is as easy as uno, dos, tres!
Select the situation that describes you below!
My charter school uses purchase orders...
- Click HERE to review all of our products (or use the button on the bottom of this page). No subscription required! The form can even send you an email and pdf that you can share with your charter school!
- Once you’ve shared your request with your charter school, they will send us a purchase order.
- When we receive the purchase order from your charter school, we will ship the desired products to you!
One Third Stories and your charter school will take care of the rest! Questions or need assistance? Contact us at [email protected].
My charter school uses a credit card to buy directly on your site...
- Your charter school will visit the Choose Your Language page on our site and select the desired language and product. Auto-renewing subscriptions not allowed? We’ve got you covered! Your charter school can either buy the 12 pack (not a subscription), or purchase any subscription and immediately cancel it. When you’re ready for your next installment, simply let your charter school know and they can select the next installment for you at checkout.
- We will ship the product to the “ship to” address provided at checkout and email a tracking number to the email address provided at checkout.
- We will send an email invoice to the email address provided at checkout and the holder of that email address can log in to the One Third Stories system and download a pdf version.
If you have questions or need assistance, contact us at [email protected].
My charter school requires that I purchase first and get reimbursed...
Before purchasing, be sure to check our approved vendor list (if that status is required) and check with your charter school for any “cut-off” dates for product purchases.
- Please visit the Choose Your Language page on our site and select the desired language and product. Auto-renewing subscriptions not allowed? We’ve got you covered! You can either buy the 12 pack (not a subscription), or purchase any subscription and immediately cancel it. When you’re ready for your next installment, come back to our site and select the next installment at checkout.
- We will ship the product to you and email you a tracking number and your audiobook link(s).
- We will email you proof of purchase and you can log in to the One Third Stories system and download a pdf version if you prefer. You can submit your proof of purchase to your school for reimbursement.
If you have questions or need assistance, contact us at [email protected].
I don't know my charter school's process or I don't see my situation listed...
If you’re unsure of your charter school’s purchasing process, it’s always best to check with the school’s staff. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Do I have funds available to purchase books and other learning materials?
- What is the process to use funds to purchase books and other learning materials? Does the charter school use purchase orders or buy directly on the vendor (company’s) website? Am I required to purchase first and get reimbursed? If so, what is the reimbursement process?
- Does the vendor/company need to be an approved vendor? Is One Third Stories an approved vendor? What is the process if I want a company to become an approved vendor?
