Phone
425-837-7822 You are welcome to call my office phone with any questions, comments, concerns, issues, dramas or nice things to say. Since teaching is always my #1 priority during the school day, I am unable to answer most phone calls directly. However, if you leave a message I will get back to you at my earliest convenience. I follow a "reply within 48 hour" guideline. Email
vonbargeng@issaquah.wednet.edu Please feel free to email with any questions, comments, concerns, issues, dramas or nice things to say. I follow a "reply within 48 hours" guideline. Please understand that during some parts of the school year, my email inbox is overflowing with messages and that teaching is always my #1 priority during the school day. |

Twitter
@vb_ibbio I primarily use Twitter to connect with other IB Biology teachers around the world. I often post science news articles that relate to the IB Biology curriculum. Using #ibbio, I'll post photos from the classroom or redacted samples of student work. I also participate in Twitter chats, real-time "hashtag conversations" about education. |

Instagram
@ibbioteacher I use Instagram to post photos from the classroom and periodic pictures from my life outside of school. I do not and will not "follow back" or respond to student, parent or colleagues inquiries. If you have a need to contact me directly, please email. |

Linkedin
@biologyforlife I use Linkedin as a way to stay connected to colleagues and former students. I am a member of some some professional groups within the platform. Little to no information about our classroom happenings gets posted to Linkedin. |

Remind "vB" I use Remind to send text message reminders to students about things that are happening in class. There are separate accounts for IB Biology I and for IB Biology II. |
