Contacting me…

My contact information is on the course syllabus and

parents’ reference sheet.

Contacting me…

Email is the best format for me. I

teach 6 periods and cannot discuss your child over the phone with others present.

Contacting me…

Therefore, if you send me an email, I can address questions and concerns more quickly than with a

phone call.

However, you may call the school and leave a message.
