Communication Guidelines
We are updating the Communications Procedures for 2010-2011
Please know we are going paperless at PPE. Only hardship hard copy will be supplied for PTO correspondence. Official forms from MNPS required to be sent by hard copy will be sent home along with any PTO forms that require you must fill them out. We are also going to set up a sticker system for Friday folders to help designate a sibling paper receiver in order to reduce duplicate copies for necessary paper correspondence.
Look for more "rules" to come.
