The school and the Parents' Club have a few ways of keeping you informed:

• Wednesday envelope: Dig into your child's backpack on Wednesdays for the Wednesday envelope, which contains all kind of useful information. Be sure to initial the envelope and send it back with your child the next day.
• Bulletin board: Look at the bulletin board just inside the front doors of the school, outside the office.
• Visit sloatparents.org!
• Yahoo group, SloatNotes: Subscribe to our Yahoo Listserv mailing list, a discussion group and forum for Sloat parents where you can read news, get reminders, post questions, etc. Go to groups.yahoo.com, log on if you have a Yahoo e-mail account. If not, create one (easy and free). Then search for the group SloatNotes (all one word). Then just click "Join this group."
