Due to after-school tutoring, there will be NO regular nightly homework. Students who attend tutoring may have tutoring practice homework on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I will try to keep it short. Thanks for your understanding and support! :-)

You may reach me at Naomi at (706) 638-2443. If during school hours, you will need to leave a message and I will call you back after school (unless it is an emergency, of which you should notify the office staff).
You may reach me at home at (706) 508-4119. Please do not call after 09:00 p.m. **This number is equipped with a voicemail system; feel free to leave a message and I will call you back.
You may reach me via email to carriedangelo@walkerschools.org. I typically check email every hour or so during school hours and at least once in the evenings when I get home. It is my goal to respond quickly to your emails so if you haven't heard anything back within 12 hours or so, I might not have received your email and you may want to re-send or contact me via an alternate method.
