Sunday, May 31 - Week 8 Online Learning

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Classes return tomorrow at 11am. 

I need a couple things from students by the end of this week:

1)  Selfie picture (landscape) for grade 8 photo collage card

2)  Fill out yearbook quote on link (have to sign in with school account to be able to fill out:   https://forms.gle/rjJHL8e8iZanK5bu8

Below is the schedule for classes for this week.

Classes are at 11am on Monday-Friday this week.  Math class is on Monday-Thursday and English will be on Friday (we will discuss book reports and set up times to present in small groups).    

Remember that I am available for questions from 9am-5pm on Monday to Friday through SeeSaw or email for parents.  It is usually easiest for students to contact me through Teams.  I will most likely answer questions after or before these times but it may take longer for me to reply because I'm trying to find my own balance between work and home life.
