If you have questions, you can see me during office hours, Monday and
Wednesday after school and Thursday before school.

If you have an urgent matter, you can email me.  But please keep in mind that
I generally check email between 8am and 5pm weekdays.  Not getting a response
to a last minute email is not an excuse for missed homework!
