All dormitories are equipped with washers and dryers for students to do their own laundry.

Outside Laundry Service

Williston has partnered with E&R Laundry to provide laundry service to all interested students to better meet our community’s needs.

The details of their programs, as well as their policies and procedures, are provided in a brochure sent to families each August.

E&R makes it easy for families and students via their online order form. Families may phone, fax, or mail their registration information. Registration for either E&R service should be completed in August, but E&R has offered a discounted rate through the fall.

Over the years, E&R has provided reliable, professional, and top quality service to Williston students. Contact E&R’s School Customer Service Office at (800) 243-7789 with any questions. During the school year Williston’s Campus Store staff are also available to help at (413) 529-3270.

You can purchase books for summer work or school year courses through the school’s bookseller MBS Direct or at the bookseller of your choice.

Please note that books are not for sale on campus or in the school store, and students must have their coursebooks when school starts.

When you log onto MBS Direct, first click on “Let’s Get Started,”  to “Shop by Schedule” enter your child’s Veracross ID, which is their Williston email prefix. (Example: jhannigan).(Please note, this option is only available once schedules are out, which will be approximately August 1.) You can also skip this section to shop by course or term.

When purchasing a digital product and prompted to add the student’s email, please enter the student’s Williston email.

Books or any other packages can ship directly to the school using the address of 20 Greenwood Court, and the students name, no campus box needed.  This address is good for both paper mail and packages and should be used throughout the year.

If you have any questions about this, please contact Jane Hannigan for help.

The Sammy Card is essential to a student’s daily life at the Williston Northampton School. More than just an identification card, the Sammy Card features a prepaid spending account—Button Bucks—which offers a safe and secure environment for students to make cashless purchases on campus via a swipe of the card. In addition the card serves to allow access to the school’s dormitories and other buildings on campus.

You agree to notify us immediately if (i) your Sammy Card has been lost or stolen or (ii) you believe someone has made a purchase using your Button Bucks account without your permission. You may be responsible for the unauthorized use of the Button Bucks account if you fail to promptly notify us that the Sammy Card has been lost or stolen. You can suspend your Button Bucks account by calling us at (413) 529-3289.

When your Sammy Card has been reported lost or stolen, we will suspend the Button Bucks account to prevent unauthorized use. You may also request a replacement card. There is a card replacement card fee of $25.

Register or log in to manage your Sammy Card at Transact IDX

Using Button Bucks enables students and families to manage spending at school without having to carry cash or coins. There are no costs or fees to participate, and unused balances roll over semester to semester and year to year for as long as a student is enrolled. To use Button Bucks, families must first register at the Transact Campus Account Center. Through the account center, families and students can have 24/7 online account access to check their balance, review transaction history, and add value.

A student’s Button Bucks spending account can be used for student spending on and off campus, accessible by using the student’s Sammy Card. This account also will be used for books purchased through MBS, the school’s online bookstore.

If the card is lost or damaged, the student is responsible for replacing the card. He or she can get a new card at the Business Office, in the lower level of the Schoolhouse. There is a $25 replacement fee.

Families can add value to the account as needed by check, credit, or debit card. Funds transferred by credit or debit card are available to students instantly. Check deposits are available on the business day that the check is received.

Button Bucks are welcomed on campus at the StuBop, Campus Store, and vending machines. In addition, a number of local restaurants and other businesses accept Button Bucks, including Dunkin Donuts, Mt. Tom’s Homemade Ice Cream and Candy Store, and Tandem Bagel Company, among other local favorites.

Williston continues to form partnerships with other local businesses, and this list is updated regularly. If you are a business owner and want to accept Button Bucks, please contact the Business Office at (413) 529-3289.

Mail is posted daily for all Upper School students in their assigned campus boxes at the Reed Campus Center.

Note: The City of Easthampton’s post office has designated the location for student mail. Do not use “The Williston Northampton School” or student’s dorm name in the address. Mail or packages should be addressed as follows:
