Contacting Ms. McCleary
You can contact Ms. McCleary via e-mail
denise.mccleary at bvsd.org (sorry, due to SPAM, I prefer to not have actual email addresses on these pages. You'll have to type this email address manually - replace " at "
with @. )

Ms. McCleary’s office is located at the back of Room 222.  You need to walk down the first aisle towards the back of Room 222 to get there.  Please note that there is only one entrance to the office so don't go banging on doors in Mathematics Hall.   Since Ms. McCleary is PART-TIME, she will not be working full days.  Hence, you smart and pretty students will need to make arrangements for test make-ups and other stuff.   Please be sure to let her know you are coming since there are other classes that meet in Room 222.
