Amazon SchoolRewards Program
Here is the special Oxford School link:
http://www.amazon.com?%5Fencoding=UTF8&tag=oxfoelemscho-20

Oxford School has joined the Amazon SchoolRewards program, an effortless way for you to help us fundraise, simply by shopping at Amazon.com. We receive up to 10% of every Amazon purchase when shoppers use our SchoolRewards link to access Amazon. This unique SchoolRewards link takes you directly to Amazon.com, where you can browse and shop just as you normally would. Each month, Amazon pays us up to 10% of all purchases made by shoppers who reached Amazon through our link (including products sold at Amazon by other companies). Please support us by bookmarking this link — then making this the first link you click each time you shop at Amazon (if you access Amazon in any other way, your purchases will not count towards the SchoolRewards program). And be sure to pass it on to your friends, family, and anyone else who might like to help us raise funds by shopping at Amazon.

Education Resources
The District has an online subscription to World Book Encyclopedia that is available to all Berkeley Unified students. Any student or family member may access the World Book website from any computer using a special log in and password. The log in and passwords are unique to the school and cannot be published on the Internet. Ask your school librarian for the user ID and password for your school. She can also give you instructions on how to use the encyclopedia to conduct research.
