Paperless Communication: In order to improve communication and help the environment, we will be communicating by e-mail and website postings. If your e-mail has changed or you do not have access to the internet, please let the office know before December 19th. There will be a limited number of paper notices available. You should still check for the Wednesday envelope for any messages that we do not generate on the computer and therefore cannot send to you via e-mail. If your group (HSA, fundraisers, basketball, ski club, etc.) has something to send to the parents, please e-mail the copy to the office and we will include it.
I have received a lot of positive feedback on parent/teacher communication through e-mail. Each teacher has been given a class list with e-mails and asked to make a class e-mail group in order to facilitate this type of communication.

has stored in the closet across from the boiler room. During the Christmas break that closet will be cleaned out
