All classrooms at Huntsville Elementary School are outfitted with voicemail. If you call to speak to your child's teacher during instructional hours, please be aware that you may be asked to leave a voicemail message. If you call the school after regular operating hours, our automated directory will allow you to leave a voicemail message with your child's teacher.
