Yes, of course, it is on my business card and is available on the school website.
But, usually the contact is because we have e-mailed a student's work home, and the
student is sending it back to be replaced in their file. When there is a big
project in progress, we will have several students every class period asking to
have their work e-mailed home.
In the evenings, I have had on occasion students who are not able to open the
document (wrong version) I have them send it back to me, I convert to the correct
version and send it back to them.
We also send things to the public library for our students who do not have
computers or Internet connections at home, at the same time we will book their
computer time. When they finish at the library, it is e-mailed back to me and I
place it back in their folder; even if they finish and print, we tell them to do
this so they do not lose the final version.

Subject: Re: HS: Do you give out your email?
My email address is on the library web page and I make a point of
showing it to the students. I also remind them during each study unit
that they can email me for research assistance in the evening. I do
tell them that a) I don't answer email after 10pm and b) sometimes I
actually have a life and am not home in the evening! I don't promise
them I'll answer every time but I tell them I am usually home and
available to help. I get several emails each night including over the
weekend. I don't mind helping the students this way - it's a service
that I offer and when it interferes with my home life I just don't do
it.
I also have a link to online chat, which I use on occasion in the
evening. The students think it's fun!
