How to Request a Quote for School Curriculum Resources

If you're already at the point of requesting a quote, you don't need background on why a site license matters. You need the request itself to go smoothly. Here's what that takes.

This is written specifically for readers close to converting, which means it's shorter and more direct than a general explainer. If you're still deciding whether a site license is the right move for your school at all, that's a different question, and one better answered elsewhere. This one assumes you already know, and just need the process.

What to Have Ready Before You Ask (Staff Count, Budget Cycle, Current Vendor if Any)

A quote request moves fastest when you can answer, upfront:

• Staff count. How many teachers, aides, and specialists would actually use the resource, and across how many campuses
• Budget cycle. When your funds are available and whether the purchase needs to land in a specific fiscal window
• Current vendor, if any. Whether you're replacing an existing subscription, and when that one renews or expires, so timing lines up

None of this is complicated information, but having it ready before you ask means the first response you get back is an actual quote, not a round of clarifying questions.

If you're requesting on behalf of a district with multiple campuses, it also helps to know upfront whether you want one consolidated quote or separate quotes per school. That's a structural decision that affects how the number gets built, so deciding it before you ask saves a revision cycle.

What a Good Vendor Quote Should Include

A quote worth acting on should clearly state:

• The exact price, and whether it's a one-time annual cost or something that changes at renewal
• What's included at that price: content scope (grades, subjects), staff access limits (or confirmation there are none), and any features gated behind the tier
• Billing method: card, purchase order, or both
• What happens if your staff count changes during the license period

If a quote is vague on any of these, ask directly before signing. Specificity here is what separates a quote you can actually take to a budget approval meeting from one that generates more questions than it answers.

A good test: could you hand the quote to someone who wasn't in the original conversation, and would they understand exactly what's being purchased, for how much, and under what terms? If the answer is no, it's worth asking the vendor to clarify before it goes into your approval packet.

How ClassWeekly's Quote Process Works

Below the District tier, ClassWeekly doesn't require a quote at all. Individual Teacher, Small School (up to 10 teachers), Medium School (11-30), and Large School (31-75) are published, flat annual prices you can see and purchase directly through "Get Started."

A custom quote applies at the District tier: 75+ teachers, or multiple schools purchasing under one license. Requesting a quote starts with sharing your staff count and scope (single district, multiple campuses), and results in a custom price with purchase order billing available, matching how district procurement typically needs to work.

Every tier, quoted or self-serve, includes the same underlying library: the full K-5 catalog across Math, Reading, and Grammar & Writing, with every worksheet labeled by CCSS standard.

After the Quote

Once you have a quote in hand, the next step depends entirely on your school's own process. Some administrators can approve a purchase within their tier directly and move straight to "Get Started." Others need to route a District-tier quote through a budget committee or board approval before a PO can be issued. Either way, the quote itself doesn't expire the moment it's issued, so there's room to work it through whatever internal process your purchase requires without needing to restart the conversation from scratch.

If your situation changes between requesting the quote and acting on it, for instance your staff count shifts, or your rollout timeline moves, it's worth flagging that directly rather than assuming the original quote still applies exactly as given.
