Please be advised that I do turn off my email, dojo, and remind notifications during breaks. I might check it occasionally, but it is unlikely that you will be able to get ahold of me until January 5th.
If you have an school-related emergency, I would recommend contacting the PNB admin, Mr. Thiessen, paul.thiessen@lcps.org, Mrs. McAllister, turner.mcallister@lcps.org, or Mrs. Davenport, latoya.davenport@lcps.org.
The Front Office will be closed during winter break this year.
