If you haven't already, please make sure your email is on file with the school and that you have a school tool account. I send home emails weekly to update you about what we are doing in the classroom and what assignments are being given out. If you do not have an email on file or a school tool account please contact the main office right away!
All assignments, due dates and information will be sent out weekly via email to all parents on file with the district.
If you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to email me at Ksouthard@gstboces.org. I am best reached by school email or you can call me at the middle or high school if you have any questions.
