The greatest respect you can give someone is your attention. I do not mind cell phones, as long as you are
respectful. Use the following guidelines for cell phone use

During Quizzes/Tests: NO CELL PHONES. Away and silent.

Contacting Me For Extra Help

My office is Room A117 (in Lower A). I will be here before and after school if you have a question or want
extra help. If you know you will be stopping in, please let me know so I can be prepared to help you.
My phone number is extension 28003. However since I share rooms with multiple teachers, I am more likely to
respond quicker via email. You can reach me by email at abohler@bhmschools.org. I will try to reply quickly;
however the later in the day it gets the less I check my email. So, email me earlier rather than later.
