As adviser, I understand that a staff member has other obligations and responsibilities. Therefore, I will work individually with each staff member to make sure that he/she fully understands the commitment that is being made prior to assuming a responsibility. I want an open line of communication between staffers, editors, parents, and me. Please feel free to contact me during my planning period, but other conference times convenient for parents will be made enthusiastically by appointment. Thanks for your cooperation in making this the best year ever! E-mail: kneenorm@snakeriver.org School phone: 684-3061.
