With all the budget cuts, I need help in providing my students with any "extra" copies. At this point in time I can cover the assessment copies myself, but all the extra review or fun activities would have to be pushed aside due to not having copy money. 4 years ago I began asking parents to help copy at Back to School Night, and they have responded graciously. The past 2 years over 10 families (each year) have been kind to copy a class set of paper at home each month for me. I only send home something every 2 to 4 weeks, I don't want to overuse their generosity. If you are in the same type of boat as I am, you might want to consider asking for help. Here is the document if you want to use it. I use the penny portfolios - one per family to send materials home. I have never had an issue that papers did not come back. If it goes a week without seeing the copies, I just send home an email just telling the parents that it's completely okay with me if it's not an okay time to copy, that I just need the masters back. Not a big deal at all.
Hope this helps!
