Calling All Parent Volunteers!
Copier and Laminator Tips and Tricks
Tues. 8/27 and Wed. 8/28, 9:30am
The Nickajack staff and faculty would like to thank all of the Parent Volunteers for their much needed assistance with copying and laminating.
We understand that the machines have been difficult to operate and they have made your job of helping us that much harder. If you are being asked to make copies by your child's teacher, please try to make one of the sessions to learn about tips and tricks for making your task easier.
Please meet in the work room either morning at 9:30 am. The session should be no more than 30 minutes.
Again, we thank all of you for volunteering your time to help us!
Questions? Please contact School Secretary, Beth Smith in the front office at 678-842-5814.
