Upper School Text Books
The virtual bookstore at MBS Direct will be open July 14th—ready to take your order. By using the following URL, you can access the Calverton section through MBS Direct address: Http://direct.mbsbooks.com/calverton.htm. You also can directly access the MBS Direct page through the link on the Calverton website or call 1-800-325-3252.
The books are grouped by grade, and then by subject. Everything you need should be listed under your current grade. (If you are taking a class in a different grade, you may need to go into a different grade to find your course and book.)
Some helpful hints are as follows:
You may order online 24 hours a day, or by mail.
You may pay by major credit card. Personal checks/money orders are also accepted if you order by mail.
Used Books – While you may purchase new books, the MBS textbook buyers make every effort to maximize the numbers of used books available, providing you with a 25% savings. (Dan Waldspurger, English, prefers new books so the text is not highlighted.)
Textbooks Buyback – An online site is provided for students wishing to sell their books back (http://www.mbsdirect.net/). In addition, two weeks prior to the end of the school year, you will receive an email or letter (if your books have a resale value) listing the price MBS Direct will pay for your textbooks. A prepaid shipping label will be included for your convenience in sending the books back for resale. MBS Direct will send a check directly to you for the value of any books they purchase from you in buyback.
Most electives don’t have books, or the teacher will provide copies for student use.
You can call the toll free number listed on the MBS website, Pam Briscoe on ext. 103, or Janice Hubbard on ext. 130 at The Calverton School if you have any questions or feedback about your order. This is a new process for some – please don’t hesitate to ask questions or let us know if there is a problem. We are here to help.
