I encourage your regular communication! Please allow at least 24 hours for a reply. If I am able to get back to you sooner, I certainly will. I will NEVER purposefully ignore you, so if you have not heard back in a timely manner please respectfully remind me that you are awaiting my reply and I will get back to you as soon as possible. The details on communication options are below...
Office Hours / TutoringSTUDENTS: Stop by the first 5 minutes of 1st lunch (no later as I must break for lunch too) or immediately after school any day. (As long as I do not have a parent/ teacher conference, I will be available for 25 minutes each day after school.) Tutoring is on Thursdays (2:05 - 3:30) unless otherwise specified in class. If I have a conflict, I will always offer a make up tutoring day or you may attend AVID Tutoring on Tuesdays (2:00 - 3:30; room 140) with upper classmen AVID students and UNF tutors.
PARENTS: Please schedule a conference through your child's house administrator. (Boys = Blue House / Mr. McKenzie or Girls = Gold House / Ms. Barney) You may check date availability with me in advance to ensure I have no conflicts. |

PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS IN FOCUS.
I also use the comment sections in the Focus grade book to communicate 3rd+ occurrence behavior concerns (listed as an assignment for communication purposes only - no grade assigned) AND more detailed information about the grades of certain assignments. Please make sure you (parents and students) always review comments when looking in the grade book. Parents, please also regularly check your child's attendance habits. Unknown absences and tardies are more tempting for students who think their parent's will not find out. (We do have an automated system that calls home for absences, as well.) |
