Contact Mrs. Tate

Email is the fastest and most efficient way to contact Mrs. Tate.  If you call the school (938-0900 x 2122) you will be directed to voice mail, as I am teaching a class most of the day.  I check my email several times a day, and can send emails much more confidentially  during the day than I can a phone call.  Confidential phone calls can only be made after school.
