phone system that will be activated this Thursday. The old system is so
old that we can't get new parts and it is beginning to fail in many areas of our
district. We are happy to let you know that you shouldn't even notice
a difference you when you call us. We are keeping our fingers crossed
for a smooth transition, but if you call and get cut off, keep
trying until you get through. Please be patient for a couple of days
while we learn to use our new system. We hope that you don't
notice any changes on your end!<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
