This year, my office hours will be held virtually, by appointment on Tuesday and Friday afternoons and Wednesday mornings. Please email me to set up a time to connect via phone, Google Hangout (chat) or Google Meet. I highly encourage you to find a time to check in with me one-on-one if you have needs or questions! Also, feel free to email me with specific questions; I will get back to you during school days within 24 hours. See "About Me" for contact information. |
