As a member of the Mark Twain community you will receive regular information updates in a variety of ways. In addition to direct e-mails from teachers and class room parents, classroom blogs and school-wide e-mail blasts we have the following:
- Twain Times – Is our weekly electronic news letter which will be sent to the email address provided in the on-line directory. In an effort to be environmentally friendly and save money we will put the majority of information in this newsletter. You can send an e-mail to twaintimes10@yahoo.com to get onto the distribution list or to change your e-mail address. There are some items that will have to be distributed through the Weekly Communication Folders.
- Weekly Communication Folders - Every Tuesday, students will be sent home with a folder of information that could not be included in the Twain Times. If you have asked to receive a paper copy of the Twain Times it will come home in this folder. Each student is required to return this folder to his/her teacher on Wednesday.
- PTO Meetings - All parents and guardians are invited to attend the monthly PTO meetings. They are held on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 pm in the library. Child care is provided.
- PTO Meeting Notes - If you are unable to attend a PTO meeting you can access an archived copy of the meeting notes on the marktwainpto.org website.
