Use this number to send me a text message if you have a question after school hours. I do my best to answer them right away. If I don't get back to you soon, I am not available at that time.
Use proper communication etiquette when communicating with me through text, email, or Jupiter.
- Include a greeting: "Dear Ms. Gorder,"
- Compose your text in one piece- do not send me a string of 10 text messages.
- Identify the subject and/or the issue your have and then ASK for my assistance in whatever way it is needed. DO NOT demand something of me.
- Finish with a sign off- "Thank you, (your name)"
