Katie
Please Note
As you are packing up for the summer, PLEASE DO NOT put things on top of the following:
- Kilns
- Marimbas
- Tympanis
All visual art teachers, note:
- Be sure kiln breakers are in the OFF position and/or unplug them completely
- Remove all kiln furniture (such as posts and shelves) from your kilns before you leave for summer so we can have them vacuumed out.
- Kilns should be relatively accessible. If storing in the kiln closet, leave a path to the kiln please.
Dates to Remember
- May 24 - Last Day of School for Students
- May 27 - Memorial Day
- May 28-30 - Post Planning

Katie's Summer Schedule - I technically work all summer but not necessarily in the office. I will be at a smattering of conferences, meetings, workshops, etc. but you can always get me via text or email. For the "completely off" days, I will likely be putting my cell phone in a drawer. Text or email and I will get back to you.
- For the most part, I am OFF on Fridays with 10 hour days the rest of the week
- Taking completely off the last week of June
- Taking completely off July 4-8
- Back in the office on normal schedule starting the week of July 16-20

Summer Email
Summer Communication
As I have done in the past, I will send out one email in the summer in June and one in July with any information that comes to me.
If you do not check your school email in the summer, please click this link and put your summer email in so that I can get you that way. Otherwise, I will simply email to your school email.
