It's just astonishing how many communication's from are schools are misspelt.
Seriously, school types -- I'm supposed to accept your judgment of my child when you don't know the difference between "you're" and "your"? Grrrrrr.....

This reminds of the time I pointed out to the manager of the Saratoga Border's that the shiny lettering above the 'stationary' section was spelled wrong. An understandable mistake...maybe... but at a bookstore?

Didn't anyone ever teach them that your principal is your PAL?
