E-mail addresses are validated by our school staff to ensure that only people in our community can access our Tuesday Envelope materials. We need to receive all soft copies by 3 PM the day before the Tuesday Envelope goes out to include it electronically. Any material received after the deadline will be included in the paper envelope and not on-line. Please send approved materials to TuesdayFlyers.2007@sjcschool.org. We prefer that you send us a PDF of your flyer. You can use a program such as CutePDF Writer, which is free, to make your own PDF. If you send us a Word document, it may not be formatted to your liking depending on your font choice. If you want to make sure that your format stays the same, send us a PDF with the fonts embedded.
Currently, the materials for the whole school year are available. As time progresses and we see how big our weekly file sizes are, we may change the length of time that archives are maintained. |
