It is possible we do not have a Vendor to meet your needs and or you would like to continue
services with a company that is not one of our Vendors. Deadlines for requesting New Vendors are the second Friday of each new semester. For the School Year of 2006-07 this would be:
Fall Semester: September 15, 2006
Spring Semester: February 9, 2007.

Requests after these dates will be added into the following semester.

1. Parent Contacts Prospective Vendor: The parent contacts the prospective Vendor and
   completes the New Vendor Request Form.

1. New Vendor Request Form Sent: The New Vendor Request form can be mailed, faxed
   or emailed to the Vendor Coordinator.
   

1. Application and Payment Explanation: Upon receipt of the New Vendor Request form
   the Vendor Coordinator contacts the prospective Vendor. At this point the Vendor
   Coordinator explains the application and payment process to the prospective Vendor and
   provides him/her with an application. This can be mailed to the prospective Vendor or
   they can access it on our website.
   For Prospective Vendors:
