Procurify
Requesting Curriculum, Instructional Materials, and Services
Our online ordering system, Procurify, makes it easy for parents to enroll their Homestudy children in programs and activities, purchase curriculum and resources, and attend events and field trips.
Every Homestudy student is allocated an Instructional Fund Budget that can be spent on the student’s specific learning needs, under the approval of their teacher. Instructional Funds are paid directly to The Cottonwood School-approved curriculum vendors and service providers.
Each Homestudy student has access to an Instructional Fund Budget* of
- $2,600 for TK (transitional kindergarten)
- $3,000 for grades K–8
- $3,400 for grades 9–12
(There are two funding periods in a school year. Funds are pro-rated for students who enroll after the first day of school.)

What is the definition of a consumable?
Consumables are items that the student completely uses up while they are enrolled with our school and therefore cannot be used by another student.

Non-consumables are items that can be used again by another student.
Can I keep the products?
All items are purchased through the school with state education funds and are considered property of the school. Non-consumables need to be returned to the school office(s) when the student withdraws from the school. They may be returned earlier if the items are no longer needed for student learning.
How do I return non-consumable items to the school?
You may hand the items back to your teacher at any meeting, or at the end of each semester/school year, or to the Lending Library, or our Mobile Lending Library Van.
