Teacher Contact
I make every effort to stay in communication with parents and check my email daily.
I check my email at least twice a day. I always check in the early morning before school and at the end of the day. My email is doconnor@stdots.com .
You can always call the school office at 610-789-4100 to relay a message.
If you send in a note with your child, please make he/she aware that they have a note for me so that I will receive it.
Absences
If your child is absent, please call the school before 8:30 a.m. Leave a message that includes your child’s name, grade, homeroom number, and reason for absence and check the Attendance policy for further information. -
