Welcome to Quarter TWO. There were some bumps along the way but we persevered together and it has been a pleasure getting to know your children. As we start the second Quarter I wanted to give just a few reminders:
1. All ZOOM Links are reset and the new links can be found in Google Classroom under "Classwork"
2. LATE HOMEWORK: As a reminder, Late Homework will ONLY be accepted during District Learning
Support (DLS) times (Mon, Tue, Thu, and Fri). Please remind your children that I will not accept e-mails
in lieu of this procedure.

Currently, I have in excess of 100 email requests about grades. The majority of these request are from students. At Back to School Night I went over the Late Homework Policy. At that time I indicated that Late Homework would only be accepted on Wednesdays between 12:45-2:00 pm. Subsequenty, I told students that I would accept Late Homework during ALL District Learning Support (DLS) times. However, I spend most DLS times ALONE in an empty Zoom meeting. Most students are not taking advantage to the time that is built into our schedule and are insisting via email that they have subsequently turned in their homework. I will not respond to those emails nor will I do anything about them. I will set aside approximately one hour a day on Mon, Tues, Thu, and Fri (2:10-3:10) to assist students in any way they need (help with classwork or work, coordinate student groups, to answer questions about grades, etc). I want students to learn to advocate for themselves and I ask your help in encouraging them to take advantage of our DLS time.
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance and support!
PS: I will be unavailable today (9/14/2020 during DLS time)
