I check my email regularly and will respond to emails as soon as I can. We also have a new phone system. Every classroom has a phone and you can leave a voicemail. I will return calls during a break when possible or after school.

Parents Note: Do not allow your child to look at these pages unsupervised. The school provides a screening program to make sure students are protected from inappropriate websites, but your home computer may or may not have this same protection. I check links often, but sometimes websites change or are hijacked. Always supervise your child when they are using the internet.
