WE NEED MORE INFO!  Since the cancellation of the February 11 PTSA Meeting/ Enterprise School Forum, I have received many requests for information that would have been covered at that session.  I consulted the PTSA Board and the decision has been made to send an informational mailout to all Classen households that includes topics that would have been addressed by our panel of experts.  Compiling the information in written form will take a few days, so try to be patient!  In the meantime, if you would like immediate answers regarding the Enterprise School structure, just hit “Reply” and send your question and a phone number where you can be most easily reached.  Our esteemed Classen News lady will find someone with an answer!  Once again, thank you for your patience.  An open forum was the most efficient way to disseminate information from a few to many – phone calls and written documents take a little longer.
