I'm so excited to start this year! Things may not be totally back to things as usual but at least we'll all be on campus. These are the links that are shared for the Open Houses before the start of school. Feel free to check them out and fill out the Student Info Form after you've watched them. Otherwise I'll see you on August 25th if I don't see you before then ;-)

All classes just need to work your way through all the buttons. They're either videos you need to watch, documents you need to read, forms you need to fill out, or instructions for your first unit. If you have "Sennett" do the same thing but the syllabus stuff will be updated when you new teacher officially starts.  

                 Check Canvas Inbox/messages for Attendance this week.
Congrats! The end of the year is only 5 days away! Some of you are already done for the summer ;-)

If you are on campus for exams this week, please continue to drop off tools and supplies. The cart will be outside my classroom in the F building. If the door is locked, you can leave things under the bench outside instead.
