Reminder: Agency Warehouse Available to Store Staff Items

Heartland staff members are reminded that they may store any excess items or items they will not need in the near future at the Agency’s warehouse. For example, if a staff member has a number of extra binders for a presentation but will not need them until next summer, he or she can appropriately box them and send them to the warehouse to be returned prior to the presentation.

When boxing items, please follow these guidelines when possible. (If not possible, contact Jason Elliott at jelliott@aea11.k12.ia.us to make alternate arrangements.) You can also contact Jason for boxes, labels and logistical questions relating to the warehousing process listed below.

- Box items in a standard Heartland box.

- Label with a warehouse storage label.

- Appropriately fill out the label. Please put your name, department, contents of the box, approximate time to be stored and most importantly, the box number.
- Keep track of what you have at the warehouse to call for retrieval.

Remember, the warehouse staff doesn’t keep track of your inventory; they just store it. You must keep up-to-date records of what the warehouse has stored for you.


To ship items to the warehouse if you are in a branch office/school, put the box in the AEA van delivery/pick-up location and if you are in the Johnston office, place your boxes on the back dock where it says "To Warehouse" (by the big laminator).

To retrieve a box from the warehouse, check your records to see how you labeled the box and send Jason Elliott an e-mail with your name, department and box number and where you would like the box sent. The delivery of the item will be by van route so please check your route to be sure there is time to get the item. Please order your items two days in advance. In the event of an emergency, please contact Dustin Gean for retrieval of your items.
