    Office Hours / Extra Help: Monday - Thursday, 9th period, or 4th period (10:02-10:43).

    We can have discussions using email, meeting in person, or we can set up a video conference (Google Meet) so that we can connect. Please speak with / email me to schedule an extra-help session.



    PARENTS/GUARDIANS: You are encouraged and welcome to join the Google Classroom (for direct progress reports, etc.). Please email me for details/invites. Partents will be able to see assignments, student work submissions, and current approximate grade/average.

     

     

     

    ASSIGNMENTS: All assignments will be posted on the Google Classroom for each course. Assignments can be submitted to the Google classroom, emailed to me, or turned in 'hard copy'.

    SYLLABI, COURSE EXPECTATIONS, GRADING POLICIES can all be found in the "Materials" section of our Google Classroom. 

    * Please note that much of the information currently on this website is still "Pre-COVID-19" and I will be adapting course information & curriculum to meet our current needs. This is an ongoing process. For example, Board Meeting Observations and Community Service are currently suspended due to Covid-19 restrictions. These components of the 'final exam' will be replaced with a Law Project. *

    SUPPLIES: For class meetings, a pen and either a notebook or a folder with some looseleaf paper is all that is requested of students. ChromeBooks will not be needed for in-class instructional purposes. Students can bring them if they choose, but they will not be a required part of our classwork. 

     

    Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
