You never get a person's name or address to respond to, it's always anonymous.

Just like this math teacher Maggie, you mail your forms repeatedly with no response, or they claim they never received them. I have found one way around this is to mail important stuff by certified mail with a reply postcard to return to me. (The cost may have gone up, but it used to be less than $1.00.) That way I have proof that the office did receive it, and someone's name is there to follow up with. Usually the person who signed the card is not a manager or decision-maker, but at least I can call and ask for that person. It's one way to short-cut the run around.
