The summer mailing was hauled to the post office Thursday afternoon<span
style='color:#1F497D'> (July 24)</span>. The packages are being sent
standard mail (formerly known as bulk). That means that you could receive your child's
package anywhere from two days to three weeks from now. If you have not
received a package by August 14, please come to the office to 1<span
style='color:#1F497D'>)</span> check to make sure your address is correct and 2<span
style='color:#1F497D'>)</span> pick up a package. Below are some important
facts about the mailing.<br>
<br>
1. The first piece of paper in the package is a letter from Mr. Slemp with a
list of items included in the mailing. The list is slightly different
from what is ACTUALLY included in the mailing. You should receive 17
items. They are: Mr. Slemp's letter, Back-to-School information,
Emergency Card, bell schedule, map of school, health center<span
style='color:#1F497D'> letter,</span> athletic information, newsletter, school
picture forms, student directory release form, Development Fund information,
Escrip flyer, Writing Coach information, School Calendar and etree information
(double sided), Jacket subscription form, flyer for community meeting re south
of campus construction, PTSA membership envelope. <span style='color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>2. In
addition, many of you will receive information on Edline and your password to
access your child’s grades and attendance online. Edline was
started last year and promises to revolutionize school to parent
communication. Read these yellow sheets with care and take advantage of
this great service. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>
<span style='color:#1F497D'>3</span>. Please note: We did <span
style='color:#1F497D'>NOT</span> include an application for Free and Reduced
lunch--despite the fact that the Back-to-School paper says that one is
included. This year, for the first time, the district Nutrition Services is NOT
sending home applications to families. A food service representative will
be available during registration (August 19-22) to process applications.<br>
<br>
<span style='color:#1F497D'>4</span>. The Jacket subscription rate included in
the Newsletter is incorrect. The correct rates are found on the
subscription form in the Packet.<br>
<br>
<span style='color:#1F497D'>5</span>. Some people will receive two packets<span
style='color:#1F497D'>: one with a preprinted label and one with a handwritten
envelope. It’s a long story, but open both as one may have the Edline
information and the other not. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>6.
Finally, a great, enthusiastic Thank You! to the 62 volunteers who showed up
Wednesday, the 25 who came Thursday morning, and the 12 who showed up Thursday
afternoon after the last bag was filled and the three more who called in that
afternoon willing to rearrange their lives should I need them. By my math
that is 107 people. That’s A LOT of volunteers for the middle of summer
on two beautiful summer days. We had Berkeley High parents, students and
grandparents. We had community members. We had big brothers and little
sisters. We had a wonderful group of sharp, clever volunteers who often
were many steps ahead of me figuring out how to run an efficient operation.
Thank you one and all. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
