FAMILIES
Can I shop on bts.monk.ca if my school isn't participating in the PAC to School program?
Yes! Even without a PAC code you can shop for supplies and have them sent to your closest Monk Office retail location. Be sure to look for Back to School specials in store as well!
I have a PAC Code from my school, do I need to use it?
The PAC Code allows you to purchase a custom school supply kit built specifically to your child’s school and grade. Additionally, your PAC Code allows us to track fundraising dollars for your school so please ensure you use the Code!
Is my school participating?
Contact your school to find out or send an email to hello@monk.ca for information.
Can I remove items from the kit? What are optional items?
To provide the best pricing possible, kits are offered at a flat price and include all required items from your child’s list. Our kits are specific to your school and grade so you can be certain you have everything on your list in the right quantities and styles. Optional items are items that are needed for the school year, but not built into the kit as per the teacher’s instructions. When ordering online, optional items can be added to your order once a kit has been selected.
