COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY!

Parents and students should feel free to contact me with questions or concerns they may have.  Remember: 

"Concerns unexpressed remain unaddressed". 

You may use any of the following methods. I regularly check my e-mail and voicemail and will respond at my earliest convenience.

You are welcome to visit your student's class (be sure to first check in at the main office to obtain a visitor's pass - yes, even parents (this is for the safety of YOUR child). You can also visit me after school or during my preparation time (appointments are always appreciated).

Phone policy: If you need to contact me by phone at home, please do so before 10:00 p.m.. Please don't hesitate to call me at home if you have a concern or question.  This is not a typical offer made by most teachers, and I will only contiue to offer it until it becomes a problem.  My philosophy:  I would rather take just a moment to answer a question or clarify an assignment than have parents or students frustrated or confused all evening, having to wait until the next class day to resolve their question. 

Please be aware that I may not be home all evening, but please, please feel comfortable calling me at home if you have any concerns or questions. If I am not home, please leave a message including your NAME, NUMBER to CALL BACK, AVAILABLE TIME/LATEST TIME I can call back, and BRIEF QUESTION. Even if I am unable to get back to you, I will have a record that you attempted to call with a question.  I realize that releasing my private number is not a typical practice of most teachers.  I, however, would like to remain available and will continue this practice for the benefit of parents and students UNLESS it becomes a problem (abuse of privelege).  The connection between class and home is valuable to your student's success.
