NEWS FROM THE A-TEAM
INSTRUCTIONAL BUDGET - $5K FOR REMAINDER OF THE YEAR
Instructional funds cover paper, toner, as well as custodial supplies (toilet paper and paper towels).
When the budget is gone, it is gone.
PLEASE CONSERVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Think before you hit print, use everything you print/copy, and be good stewards of our resources. WATCH THOSE TPT RESOURCES AND ALL OF THE EXTRA PAGES THEY PRINT.
