Senior Lawn Signs will be available for seniors to pick up starting Tuesday, May 20, after school in the Alumni Office.
This year, we will be providing you an opportunity to sell back your used books in partnership with our book provider. Please follow these three easy steps:
1 – Sign into your
MBS account (or create an account if you don’t have one -- families who did not buy from MBS can still participate in buyback). Follow the directions outlined in this video on how to get a quote on the books you’d like to sell:

2 – Be sure to PRINT TWO quotes. There will be no printing capabilities on campus, so if you arrive without the printed quotes, we will not be able to accept the books.
3 - Please bring the books you are selling to the Tutor Center Lobby between 8:30am-12:30 pm on Wednesday, May 28 or on Thursday, May 29 between 11:30am and 1:30pm at the Middle School in the Mike Valentine Student Center.

Will you accept buyback books in any condition?
Because books are resold to other students, MBS does not accept or pay for buyback books with:
• Stains or water damage
• Missing, torn, or loose pages
• Missing, torn, or loose covers
• Excessive writing or marking
• Excessive writing on the edges
• A broken spine
• Torn or damaged binding
A textbook can still be in good condition if it shows signs of general use and wear and tear, such as:
• Some writing or notes
• Highlighting, from a little to a lot
• Rounded or dog-eared corners
• Minor scrapes or scratches
• Faded cover art
• Creased pages
Keep in mind:
-Please do not bring any extra or unwanted books. We will not be able to accept any books except for those being sold back to MBS.
-If you rented books from MBS, you will receive a separate email communication from MBS on how to return those books (please do not bring those books to campus or attempt to sell them).
-If you need assistance with your MBS account or creating the quote on the MBS website, please contact their customer service at (800) 325-3252 or clicking the Help icon. If you have any questions about dropping off the books on campus, you may contact Anthony Ploesch at the middle school at
aploesch@chaminade.org or Micheal Huff at the high school at
mhuff@chaminade.org.
-Can’t make it to campus? You can still create a quote and ship the books on your own.
