1. Look for the carton with the pink neon label marked “Packing List”. This is the carton with the
packing slip. There should be one packing slip per classroom collection (not one per carton).
2. Look at the carton count on the packing slip and verify that the # of cartons on packing slip
equals # of cartons physically received.
3. Look at cartons that have an ISBN on the outside of the shipping box and check those off your
packing list first. Those should denote full cartons and the carton should not need to be
opened to check-in the order (prepacks and collections).
4. Report any discrepancies to HISDinquiry@scholastic.com. Please be sure to include your
order reference # and school name.
