It contains important schoolwide and divisional news. Please be sure to read both the All-School section, the relevant School sections, and the Parent volunteer organization section, as items are not duplicated. <br><br>Take Note is emailed to parents, faculty and staff on Thursday afternoons. Non-divisional notices and entries from parents should be emailed to <a href="mailto:takenote@asl.org">takenote@asl.org</a> by noon on Wednesday for Thursday publication. Faculty and staff should submit entries for Take Note to their divisional editor by noon on Tuesday: LS Yolandi Strydom, MS Soumaya Bourra and HS Ruksana Murtaza. This insures the divisional editor is aware of the activity and that dates and information are accurate.
