Shelfit-EdTech Bookstore is Now Open!
Dear Students and Parents,
The Shelfit-EdTech Bookstore is now open.
-
Students, log in to Canvas and select any current course. (The Shelfit-EdTech bookstore is only available on Student accounts, not on Parent Observer accounts.)
-
On the left-hand course navigation, click the Shelfit-EdTech link.
-
Next, select the Store link.
-
Items found in your course access bundle, CAB, are items you are required to purchase for class. These items include digital book platforms, workbooks, and some paper copy textbooks.
- In some cases, your teacher may have already distributed materials to you in your class, knowing you would be purchasing the materials through the Shelfit-EdTech Store as soon as the store became available.
Additional items are available to purchase outside of CAB. These items are typically novels for your English classes, printed copy of a textbook, and approved calculator. These items are outside of the required to purchase CAB because they are items frequently obtained via other methods such as being passed down via siblings or friends.
It is important to note that your Shelfit-EdTech Store CAB is generated via your schedule. The syncing process happens overnight. If you add a course, an additional course material may populate your Shelfit-EdTech CAB. In this case, you would need to go to your Shelfit-EdTech Store and make the additional CAB purchase. Also important to note, drop-add ends on August 25, 2025. If you plan to drop a course, please wait until the course is dropped and the Shelfit-EdTech Store CAB syncs with your updated schedule before making your purchase.
Please plan to have CAB purchases completed by Labor Day. Please contact EdTech via the green help button in the lower right corner of your screen for assistance within the Shelfit-EdTech Store.
