Supplemental Learning Funds

If you have not yet utilized funding so far this year and are not sure how to navigate our new fund hub portal, you can jump right into our Training Center — This will provide you with helpful videos on how to submit an order, request homeroom resources, submit an alternate vendor payment, or use you exciting browser extension, THE FUND HUB CLIPPER!

What is the fund hub clipper? This is an easy way for you to add all the fun items you are hoping to purchase to your order rather than having to paste the individual URL links for every item!

If you are wondering why you do not see your classes and clubs you have signed up for deducted from your funding, we will get those added within the next week!

Newly Added to the Fund Hub Portal:

Braintree Printed Curriculum

The Middle Ages (4th Grade ELA)
Folktales (4th Grade ELA)
Fractured Fairy Tales (3rd Grade ELA)

Braintree Academy Student ID Card (Can be found under Opt-in Resources)

Classes & Clubs

We understand that sometimes live and anchor classes or elective clubs are not the perfect fit for every student. You are welcome to drop a class or club if it’s not working for you. However, the period to drop for a reimbursement has closed. This form will remove students from the courses in Buzz.

Please note that it may take up to 14 days to remove students from accounts.
