Hopefully you have all located your parent mailboxes and are checking them regularly.
There has been a lot of information going into them about class work,  fundraising and upcoming events. If you have students in both classes or a 2-household arrangement please let us know what your mail preference is- Do you want one box? one in each class? Is one mailbox sufficient or would you each like your own? We are happy to accommodate your family as long as you let us know. Thanks.

Speaking of events, there are many exciting things coming up:
