How to Check-In Your Dynamic Personalized Library (Shipment 1)
1. The first thing to do is to separate the cartons by grade (sort by grade color label). Within grade you will
see the label has Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D. Each teacher will get a class set for their grade.
2. For each grade pile, look for the carton with the pink neon label. This is the carton with the packing slip.
There will be one packing slip per Grade Level.
3. Look at the carton count on the packing slip and verify that the # of cartons on packing slip equals # of
cartons physically received
4. 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
5. Repeat for each grade
Note: This is only the first shipment of your Dynamic Personalized Library. You will receive 1-2 more
shipments to complete your classroom library.
