Your Fall Refresh Starts with School Scout (and a Little Help from Your Friends)

We have turned the clocks back, your inbox is full of Black Friday “sneak peeks,” and your to-do list is growing faster than a leaf pile in November. But before the holidays hit full speed, let’s talk about your network, because just like that second slice of pie, it’s something you’ll be thankful for later.

School Scout: The Smart Way to “Find Your People”

We get it—you’re juggling vendors, quotes, contracts, and maybe a holiday luncheon or two. Enter School Scout, your shortcut to finding trusted partners who actually get independent schools, and have worked with your peers!

Need new furniture before spring break? Looking for the best tech deals before the end of the year? School Scout connects you to vetted MISBO Consortium Partners and the schools that use them faster than you can say “pecan pie.”

The MISBO Directory: Because Your Network is the Real Gift

The holidays are all about connection, right? (And maybe a few good-natured gossip sessions at the cookie table.) The MISBO Member School Directory is your place to find MISBO members just like you, with the same challenges and joys you have! Think of it as your professional version of “Friendsgiving." Everyone brings something to the table, and everyone leaves with something helpful.

Your Secret Weapon: The Purchasing Toolkit

When you’re ready to really level up, head over to the Purchasing Toolkit. It’s like the perfectly organized pantry of resources; School Scout, Partner Connect, Vendor Analysis, Benefits Report Downloader and more. All in one easy spot!

If you’re ready to spend smarter, save time, and build connections that last long after the decorations come down, this is where you start.

So before the holidays sweep you away, grab your cozy sweater, a mug of something warm, and take a few minutes to explore these tools. Your future self, the one sipping cocoa in January with all the boxes checked, will thank you.

Because in the MISBO community, you never have to go it alone. You’ve got School Scout, a network full of smart, generous peers, and a toolkit that does the heavy lifting so you can focus on what really matters: thriving all year long.
