Brown Envelopes

The Brown Envelope is one of the most important communication tools
utilized by Christ the King Regional School 
to disseminate and collect information from each family.

Distribution

Brown envelopes are filled and distributed the first school day on Monday mornings (or, in case of a holiday, whatever day is the first school day of the week).  The brown envelopes are then collected and emptied on Tuesday morning (or, in case of a holiday, the following day after distribution). Each family will have one brown envelope that will be assigned to the youngest child (K-8^th).  Families that have only a preschooler will receive their brown envelope through the preschool. The Brown envelopes is the key communication tool used by the school and PTA to disseminate information (including a weekly PTA Newsletter) and forms.   The brown envelope allows parents to send any written communication or forms back through the brown envelope to the school.  Each family must sign their brown envelope for the appropriate week and return the envelope to school the following day.  

Inserts

All inserts into the Brown Envelope must be authorized by the Principal.  The PTA Hardcopy Newsletter Editor should be contacted to see if the information/form can be placed in the Newsletter.  All Brown Envelope Insert requests must follow the PTA Newsletter submission deadline and be submitted by 9am the Thursday morning before their inclusion in the Brown Envelope, unless otherwise approved by the Principal.

Brown Envelope Duty
Every grade level is assigned a month that the parents are responsible for the filling and emptying of the Brown Envelope.  The PTA Newsletter Editor will send out the Sign-Up form to all families in the assigned grade the week before their duty starts.  The Room Parents will receive the returned Sign-Up forms and organize the volunteers for their assigned month.  It is the Room Parent's responsibility to provide volunteers to assist with the Brown Envelope.  There must be at least two volunteers provided for both days, yet preferable 4-5 volunteers on the "stuffing" day.  The more volunteers available, the faster the Brown Envelopes are ready for distribution.
