SHOE CHART INSTRUCTIONS A shoe chart is basically a class list with students skate sizes next to their names. From these lists we calculate the number of skates we need to deliver to your school. You need not add anything up. We will do all the calculations. Please follow these instructions:

Step 1: Put together rosters for each class. Choose one of the following options:

x Make copies of your own class rosters (recommended for your convenience). Make sure copies are clear & legible. If your class rosters have shaded (screened) areas, lighten them when making copies. Shaded areas are impossible to read when faxed.

x Make a spreadsheet of your choice x Download ‘Skatetime Shoe Chart’ from www.skatetime.com & make blank copies, then fill out all

information & list all students’ names

.

Smartphone or tablet users: You can scan your class lists with skate sizes and email them to us from your phone! (Suggested Free App to use: Genius Scan)

Step 2: Collect skate sizes from students. Suggested ways you can do this are:

x While taking attendance, have each student remove his/her shoe & tell you the U.S. size listed on the tongue of the shoe

x Give a roster sheet to individual classroom teachers & have them obtain the student’s sizes x Use sizes indicated on permission slips

Step 3: Make sure the size is correct:

x Use whole sizes only x Available Quad Sizes: Juvenile J8-J13 & Regular 1-16 x Available Inline Sizes: Juvenile J13 & Regular 1-16 x IMPORTANT! Skates are in boys whole sizes only

Girls: Subtract 1 from their shoe size (i.e. Size 6 Shoe = Size 5 Skate) Half sizes: Boys round up (i.e. 5.5 = 6); Girls round down (i.e. 5.5 = 5)

x Indicate “Juvenile” sizes as: J8, J9, J10, J11, J12 or J13 x Include staff sizes needed for each class period

Step 4: Final Preparations

Be sure to completely fill out the entire ‘Skatetime Shoe Chart Cover Page’ & include it when you send us your shoe charts. Important items are covered, including your safety gear needs

x Make certain combined classes are clearly marked, to ensure you have enough skates x If your schedule is more complicated, please send us a copy
