The best way to contact me is via e-mail at agarrison@stjoe.k12.il.us. I have found that I can respond to e-mail fairly quickly if you are needing an immediate response. If you prefer speaking with me, please call the school and leave a message. I will return your call as soon as possible, but I am with students the vast majority of the day--some days I work with students over my lunch period. (It makes it very difficult to have a private conversation when students are present in my classroom--but I can often quickly type an email response!) I am also available for parent-teacher conferences throughout the year, both before and after school. Just call me at the school or e-mail to make an appointment. Also note that during the school day if you have a message that must get to your child, it is best to contact the office directly at (217) 469-2334. There are times when our internet is down, and if I am gone from school, the substitute teacher will not have access to my email account.
