Textbooks
SPX introduces EdTech as our new online bookstore provider that will open in July. The single bookstore - in partnership with Amazon for print books and other supplies - may be accessed through the MySchoolApp portal when it opens in the summer. This integrated solution will offer each student a customized bookstore that will only display required books and materials based on their courses for 2025-2026, creating a simplified shopping experience. EdTech will also manage this year's textbook buyback in June. Advantages include:
- Single point sign-on to all digital materials through MySchoolApp throughout the year.
- Customized bookstore views for each student based on their academic schedule.
- Responsive customer service.
- Buyback for print textbooks.
- Management of site licenses for all ebooks and digital materials. Students' SPX login to the network will also access and open all digital texts.
- Access to ebooks from any device using SPX student login credentials through MySchoolApp.
- All textbooks, regardless of format, can be purchased through EdTech.
- Partnership with Amazon for print books and other materials required by a course.

Instructions for the bookstore and textbook buyback with EdTech will soon follow.
