Discipuli, As you know, no phones at academy which makes it difficult to stay in contact with home, but NOLI TIMERE!! This is a quick reminder about how to write letters and address envelopes (Yes, this has previously been an issue). First, another packing list for letters: • Stationary • Envelopes • Stamps • Pen/Pencil • Address Book* *This last one is important! In case your friends and family aren’t the letter-writing types, write one to them first. This will prompt a response from them, but you can only write them a letter if you have their addresses. After writing and addressing your letters, you can give them to any of your RAs or elected Quaestors. We will deliver them directly to post office after breakfast each morning. Mail usually takes about 3-5 days to be delivered; packages vary a bit more. When I came to academy as a student, I didn’t realize how much a note from home would mean to me, so be sure not only to give out your academy address to all your family and friends, but also to write letters too. It is a great way to help alleviate any homesickness you may feel too. Below I have attached an outline of a filled-out envelope including your academy address in the top left. As always, you will have the RAs and staff to ask any additional questions you have. Get excited! We are a week and a half from meeting you! Valete, Sallie ![]()
