Dear Ithaca  Students and Families, 

As a result of school closures in response to COVID-19, please know that you are in my thoughts and be assured that I am here for you as a support and resource person.  I will respond to emails and check my school voicemail between the hours of 8am and 3:30pm during school days. If you encounter an urgent matter regarding you and/or your student(s) well-being, I encourage you to contact the following community resources:
