  9. Will I automatically receive the featured gift that was shown on the front of my mailing packet?
    • To be eligible for the featured gift, you need a total of at least 15 signed "Yes" and "No" responses. If you want the featured gift, be sure to write in the item number on your Teacher Report Form, or if you are ordering online, select it when you get to the gift order screen. If you teach such a small number of students that you can't possibly collect 15 signed slips, you can still get the featured gift by certifying that you have a small class.

  10. What documentation should I keep in case Highlights needs to contact me about my gift(s) or student orders?
    • If you responded through the mail, we recommend you keep your students' "Yes" slips and a copy of your Teacher Report Form until you receive your gift(s). If you entered your orders online, we recommend you keep your students' "Yes" and "No" slips until you receive your gift(s).

  11. How can I tell if my gifts are on back order?
    • If you received two or more teacher gifts, included in your package was a packing slip that shows the item codes and descriptions. Next to "Quantity Ordered," you will see a column titled "B/O," which stands for back order. If any quantity is shown in this column, then the item is on back order.
