I have a multi-function fax/printer/coper/scanner (under $100 with rebate). I find it a really easy way to manage paper documents, such as all those notices my kid brings from school. I just feed it in, it loads into my PC as a PDF file, and I name it, and either email it or drop into a document folder of School Stuff. I'll email a copy to my husband at the office as a reminder, for example.
That would be a great way to distribute school stuff.
