It has really made returning papers and sending home flyers so much easier! I know it might seem trivial, but instead of having to remember to pass papers back at the end of the day or ask students to hand out flyers, I can simply add papers to their mailboxes throughout the day/week, and then they can grab their stuff all at once. It's really helped to streamline all the paperwork! One thing teachers never seem to have enough of is time, and this has helped me feel like I'm not spending precious minutes distributing papers.\r\nThank you again for your contribution.","fullyFundedDate":1783471954682,"projectUrl":"project/class-mailbox/10366243/","projectTitle":"Class Mailbox","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10544930_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783377875509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10544930"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78254","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":415,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":21.8,"schoolId":78254,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Washington Colony Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Washington Colony Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/washington-colony-elementary-school-district/washington-colony-elementary-school/78254"}
