"Please make sure that your child wears their school clothing on this day. We encourage all of our "little dolphins" to dress in school clothing every day If you need to reach out to us concerning this policy, please feel free to contact us.
On the reverse side of this letter is a list of wonderful WEBSITES your child may use at home to help them become better at Reading, Math and science. Please have your child go onto these sites. This will significantly increase their achievement in school."
(This whole letter is in italics, btw.)
Now, first of all, I don't think I need hype telling me that MORE SCREEN TIME is the answer to all that ails kids' grades. Nor do I really need people giving the easy solution to school achievement instead of one that might work just as well if, say, I were poor and didn't have easy access to a computer.
But besides that, wtf is with "If you need to reach out to us, please contact us"? Why not just say "Please contact us if this is a problem" so you don't sound jargony and redundant?
Sheesh.
