If at any time, you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
by phoning the school at 689-6100 and leave a message; I will return your call
as soon as I am able. Throughout the
year, I may send home information sheets on what we are doing in class and if I
need to contact you personally, I will telephone you directly. All homework should be available on the
homework hotline, though regular home assignments are seldom given in French as
most work is done in the classroom. In
addition, class announcements will, from time to time, be posted on the website
