Textbooks

In order to receive textbooks for the 2024 – 2025 school year, you must register online with Capital Region BOCES. Please go to capitalregionboces.org/textbooks and sign up. In order to register, you will need a Unique ID number. That number is your CBA student ID number which can be found in Powerschool. Once you register, you will receive an email confirmation from BOCES. If you do not receive an email, something went wrong and you should contact BOCES at 518-464-5121 (please check your spam folder). Reminder: Don’t forget to return this year’s textbooks to BOCES if you have not done so already. If not, you will not receive textbooks until your current ones are returned.
