Enrichment Update:
Dear Families,
We would like to provide you with a quick update about where we are at with Enrichment ordering.
We understand that many of you have experienced long wait times while waiting for your orders to be fulfilled, and your extreme patience and understanding is greatly appreciated.
This year, twice as many orders were entered into our system than last year.
Today we are at a 6 week turnaround time on the oldest orders in the system. Each week, we are seeing that turnaround time decreased by about 20%, so with the ground we are gaining, we should be down to a 2-week turnaround time on order processing within the next few weeks.
Our Enrichment team has worked tirelessly, around the clock for the past four months. Additionally, we have hired 30 new specialists and cross-trained staff across departments to assist us with the huge volume of orders that were requested by our families.
Our students are our top priority, and we are constantly striving to do our best to keep wait times for Enrichment orders as low as possible.
In the meantime, if you have orders that are extremely time-sensitive, please reach out to your teacher, who can communicate with our Enrichment team about having urgent orders expedited.
Thank you for being a part of our Inspire family.
Lesley Porter
Enrichment Services Administrator
Enrichment Department
We hope that is helpful for you!
Now, go make it a great day!
-April & Christina
