The best way to contact me is via email: kennedy.capps@smail.astate.edu. I will respond as quickly as I can, usually during my planning time or lunch break. Usualy, I will not be able to respond to emails during class time as I am typically not at my desk. I will try to respond to you after hours if I am able, but it is not promised. If an emergency arises, please contact the school office and our secretary will help you from there.
