        Mrs. Chase 

                        Communication :

Parent/Teacher/Student communication is important to me.

1.  E-mail: The best way to reach me is through e-mail. My email address is mchase@stmb.org. This way, I can respond quickly to your inquiry.

2.  Phone: If you would like to contact me by phone, please call me at 262-763-1515. Unfortunately, I cannot check my voicemail frequently, so it may take a little longer for me to respond. (Voicemail messages are generally checked at least once per day.)

Assignment Notebook :   I expect students to write down all homework assignments in their assignment notebooks. I strongly urge parents/guardians to review this notebook on a regular basis in order to be aware of assignments (including late work), important dates, and activities occurring at school. Please feel free to write notes for me in the student assingment notebook if desired.
