Reminder: If you have 6 or more unexcused absences or early morning tardies, you cannot go on field trips that remove you from the instructional environment (i.e. classroom time).

The administrative team understands that situations will arise requiring a meeting with administration. If you would like to meet with an administrator, please contact Laura Geske at geskel@wcde.org or (423)753-1150 so that she can schedule the meeting. You may also email administrators directly at the email address listed under their pictures above.

Administrators' schedules are full with classroom observations, student-parent meetings, professional learning meetings with teachers, and other requirements. When a meeting is not scheduled, those needing a meeting may be asked to wait in the lobby until the administrator is available. This could take a while, especially if the administrator is completing a classroom observation for the duration of the class period. In order to have the time needed to devote to the situation/concern, please schedule a meeting.

Phone calls requesting to speak to an administrator may also require a call back rather than an immediate response. The administrative team understands the urgency of some situations, and the team asks that you please leave a message with one of the office staff, and one of the administrators will return the call as soon as possible. Please be patient with the office staff as they are doing all that they can in that moment.
