Ordering Books via Amazon

Follow These 6 Steps to Order Books & Materials

• Step 1 - Know Your Student's LACO Email Address

  When students are accepted to Leadership Academy of Colorado, they receive an assigned LACO email address and password. These are sent to the parent/guardian email address on file at the time of enrollment. (For students under 13, the email address is assigned to the parent/guardian instead of the student.)
  
  You will need your student’s assigned email address and password to complete the following steps. If you have multiple enrolled students, please use the email associated with your oldest student.

  Note: These email addresses are used solely for laptop/Chromebook login and Amazon orders.

• Step 2 - Create/Log Into Your Student's Google Profile

  If your student is new to LACO, you will need to create a new Google profile using the LACO-assigned email address and password sent to your inbox.

  Follow these instructions:

  • On your computer, open Chrome.
  • At the top right, select your profile image or initial.
  • From the menu, choose Add (at the bottom).
  • Please follow the prompts to sign into the account you want to use; in this case, sign in with the new LACO email.
  • Please choose a new password if this is your first time logging into Google with your LACO email. 
    
    

  If your student is returning to LACO, sign into their Google profile in the top right corner of your browser window using the LACO-assigned email. This should be familiar to you and/or your student.

  If you encounter problems or need a password reset, please email books@lacolorado.org.

• Step 3 - Open Your Student's LACO Gmail

  Once you’re logged into your student’s Google profile, open Gmail. You should see a link in the top right corner of your screen to select Gmail. If not, click on the cluster of dots in the upper right-hand corner of your screen and select the Gmail icon.

• Step 4 - Log Into Amazon Business

  Now that you’re logged into your student’s Google profile and LACO Gmail account, you’re ready to log into Amazon Business. 

  Click on the cluster of dots again, then click on the Amazon Business icon. This should bypass account registration and take you to your student’s assigned LACO Amazon account. 

  Ordering books from the LACO Amazon account allows us to pay for your student’s books upfront.

  

   

• Step 5 - Log Into SIS

  While keeping the Amazon tab open, open a new window and log into your parent SIS account. You must be logged into both for the ordering process to work.

• Step 6 - Order Books & Materials

  In SIS, go to My Students > Classes to see which books and materials are needed. In the top left corner, click on the booklist for the upcoming semester.

  Note: Fall semester books and materials may be ordered after June 15th each year. Winter semester items may be ordered after Nov. 15th.

  LACO will not pay for optional or household items.

  Selecting Books & Materials:

  • For each required book or material listed, click the red ISBN link in SIS. Links should automatically take you to Amazon where you can review and add items to your cart. Do this for each needed item.
  • Note: If your student prefers a kindle format and one is available, these can be requested by emailing books@lacolorado.org. Please tell us your student's name, the kindle book(s) they'd like, and the email address where you'd like the download link sent. Once you receive a confirmation from us, you'll be able to connect the kindle book to your preferred personal account. 
  • If you have multiple students enrolled at LACO, use the same Amazon account to purchase books and materials. Simply review all of your students' booklists in SIS, adding each needed item to your cart.
  • After books and materials have been added to your cart, proceed to checkout. In the "Purchasing for" field, list the student for whom the items are being purchased. If purchasing books and materials for multiple students, list all student names in this field.
  • Add your address and submit your order for approval.

  
  LACO Amazon Business accounts are set up for "Pay by invoice." Once your order is placed, we will review your order. Upon approval, LACO will pay the invoice and your order will be shipped from Amazon. You will be notified of any unapproved items.

Need to Return Books or Materials to Amazon? 

Occasionally a student may drop a class after receiving their books. LACO requires that these books are returned to Amazon within a week of the class being dropped since the Amazon return policy window is limited. 

• Expand to see all steps for completing returns:

  • Log into your student’s Gmail account.
  • From Google Apps in the top right corner of your screen, select the Amazon Business icon. This should take you directly to our LACO Amazon account.
  • Under Account Details, click Your Orders. Find the items you need to return, and follow the prompts.
  • Choose a free drop-off location.
  • Confirm the return.
  • Check your email for a return code. Print the code, or ensure it’s viewable from your phone.
  • Take your items to your drop-off location, show the code, and complete your return.
