What should I do if I need to ask a question after 4:00 in the afternoon?

If you have pressing concerns or questions after I've left school for the day, click the email button 
found on my home page.  This will connect you with my office email, and I'll usually be able to get 
back to you.

Reading workshop takes place every Wednesday and Friday.

What is your office phone number?

The office phone is probably not the best way to reach me.  Checking messages is something I 
usually do only after school, so email works better for more immediate questions and concerns.  If 
you need to speak with me by phone, however, my office number is 847-432-4770, ext.242.

My grade report on Power Parent seems to be missing something. Why is this?

I work hard to update student grades immediately after assessments are turned in.  I may not 
always be able to do so, however, so there could be occasions when the percentage shown on Power 
Parent is not entirely accurate.  Similarly, Power Parent may show you're missing an assignment even 
if you're not.  This is only temporary.
