004of this. Um I think it's going to come in probably around $43,000. We will have to have some additional printing done throughout the year, but Mark, correct me if I'm wrong, but the majority takes place during the summer. So, this this should get us through the year. >> And then um it item number two is the parent square. And um for the district's communication system in the past, we've used the Remind system.
