VESD Book Fair - February 2nd - February 5th
What is Book Fair eWallet?
No more bills stuffed in backpacks! At the Scholastic Book Fair, kids shop without cash thanks to eWallet, a digital payment account for purchases at the Fair. Family and friends contribute funds. Then kids choose their own books. It's convenient, simple, and secure.
How does eWallet work?
It starts on your school's Book Fair homepage. A child's family follows a link to create a free eWallet account. There are three ways to fund an account: Add money with a credit card, use funds from a previous eWallet, or invite friends and extended family to contribute.
Because funds are available immediately, a child can shop the Fair with eWallet right away. Families can use a leftover balance to fund an eWallet for a future Fair or use the remaining balance online.
How do I sign up for eWallet?
1. Go to https://www.scholastic.com/bf/valentineschdist
2. Click the "Get Started" button under the "eWallet Set-up Dates" section
3. Watch the informational video
4. Create a free Scholastic account
5. Upload funds with your debit or credit card
6. Your student(s) can shop the bookfair using the funds you uploaded
