Back-to-school shopping has always been a juggling act for parents – searching across platforms for the right textbooks, finding the correct stationery, and hoping they haven’t missed an essential item. For schools, it’s just as complex – managing two separate systems and fielding a wave of queries every January.
Now, it’s simpler.
Snapplify has partnered with YourSchoolBox to offer stationery directly in the Engage catalogue. Schools can now publish complete back-to-school lists – textbooks and stationery – on a single platform. One list. One process. One less headache for schools and families.
A real-world win: Curro Durbanville High School
Curro Durbanville is one of the schools already taking advantage of the new stationery integration.
“We’ve used Engage for textbook ordering for a few years, and adding stationery has made a huge difference,” says Etienne Pienaar, Deputy Head of the school. “Parents appreciate the convenience, and it’s made things simpler for our admin team, too.”
The school now shares one comprehensive list with families. Parents log in to Engage, view their child’s books and required stationery in one place, add items to their cart, and choose delivery to home or school.
“No one needs to shop around anymore. It saves time, and we start the school year without the delays we used to face.”
Why it matters for schools
For educators and administrators, it’s about simplifying systems:
- One list to create and share
- A single place to manage orders
- Fewer calls and emails from confused parents
Schools using Engage can now offer a streamlined, digital shopping experience with complete visibility and control, whether they’re handling a few hundred or a few thousand learners. This gives educators more time to focus on what matters most – teaching.
Why it matters for families
For parents, the integration:
- Saves time and reduces stress
- Ensures learners are fully prepared
- Aligns with key learning outcomes from day one
- Includes direct delivery to their homes, just like hard copy textbook orders - making the process seamless and stress-free
With early access and all-in-one shopping, Engage helps families check off their back-to-school lists faster, contributing to stronger starts and better learning continuity.
