General Anouncments

  • IF we have full remote learning day Monday- I'll update info here for work and expectations- they will be posted bold and in red!
  • Midterm Exams: All Classes be ready for Midterm Reviews' when we get back from break.
  • Grades: All grades should be updated and synced with PowerSchool by the end of the day Wednesday. If you notice anything not matching let me know asap. 
  • Winter Break- use that time to get assignments caught up, grades fixed, etc. There won't be much time for that when we get back. Note I don't check email or messages over the break. If you get stuck, just do your best to work through the problem on your own (re-read directions, look at examples, re-read assignment descriptions in canvas- everything you need to answer any questions is usually in one of those places)

General Announcements

  • Tuesday December 6th: PreACT exam for all 10th Grade Students
  • Progress Reports: grades will be updated in Canvas and synced to Powerschool  Thursday and Friday for my classes. Assignment Scores should match between the two programs but the Overall Grade is only calculated accurately in PowerSchool. If you would like a print out of your progress report or have any questions/concerns about grades please email me.
  • Reminder about Absences: all work is posted here, and most of it can be completed outside of class (may need to get creative with supplies- but that's cool with me:-). Every Hour of work time you make up take a picture and add it to the daily work assignment you missed in Canvas. If those assignments lock then it's too late to turn them in for credit. If you're out for more than a week or get really far behind, just email me and we can come up with a better plan of getting you caught up ;-).
