Well that's odd. A 100% paperless school sending notes home. On slate is my guess.

and nah, our school sends home notes via email - they send almost eveything online - I'd say everything, but I'm sure there would be something that wasn't.
This was the first year it has been fully operational, it took about 3 years to get it to this stage.
Even our report cards are now sent through the parent portal.
It used to do my head in, they would post home our report cards in individual envelopes at a cost of $1.05 each - multiply that by 1000 odd students four times a year and it adds up. They didn't even put all the report cards of one family in the one envelope.
Parents weren't even allowed to pick them up - they had to be posted.
So, I'm much happier that they are now delivered electronically, it must save some paper, cos I only print out the important ones, and obviously saves a lot in paper cost for the school, the cost of envelopes and the cost of whoever has to put them in the envelope and address them etc, but the postage costs are now removed all together, so I'd estimate a good $6000 saving a year, just on the report cards.
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
