eThursday Envelopes
The eThursday Envelope is a way to help the school save money, help the environment and save you time! It’s simple. It’s an on-line version of your “paper” Thursday Envelope. You receive an email Thursday morning when the eThursday Envelope is ready to be viewed—you simply click the link in the email and all of that week’s flyers and notes are available to you on-line! Note: confidential information is never posted on eThursday & items like that and a few other things will still come home in your “paper” Thursday Envelope.
With over 50% of our families subscribing to the eThursday envelope, we are saving approximately 750 pieces of paper per week. We are on track to save over 30,000 pieces this school year! That is a great deal of paper, copier chemicals & electricity being saved not to mention the time & payroll saved (money that can be spent on your children & not office supplies, paper & payroll). Our goal is to have 85% of our school families utilizing the program!
