Nurses Office Hours during COVID-19
Monday - 11:45am - 12:45 pm
Thursday - 2:00pm - 3:00 pm
During COVID-19, Nurse Cynthia and Nurse Hannah are available for virtual office hours via a live Webex"meeting". They will both be present at the same time during the office hour. All you need is the application Webex by Cisco on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Feel free to use the same device your student uses to connect with teachers or download the free app on your own device.
You can join the live Webex office hour with this link.
You can also search the Webex directory for Cynthia Serra (we will both be in Cynthia's Personal Room) and join that way. There is a "waiting room" which you might be in if we are visiting with another person. We will be alerted if you are in the "waiting room". We look forward to "seeing" you!
