Hey folks,

I finally got some direction from the principal about continuing instruction. Nothing is finalized yet, but I wanted to start communicating here. The superintendent has stressed that as a district, "We are committed to providing a learning/educational platform for our students, to the very best of our ability." So here are my thoughts for the near-future.

1. ​I will be emailing all of your school email accounts and the email accounts of your parents or guardians listed in Powerschool tomorrow to inform of our plans as well as gauge availability to Google Classroom.
   
   
2. At least for these two weeks (hopefully closure doesn't go longer than that, but we have to prepare for anything), I will be providing educational content related to our current classroom units. As of this moment, I will not be assigning any graded assignments, but rather I'll be providing instruction on things like how to work on your research, digital literacy skills, and other concepts with the idea that if you work on things now, you won't have to do them later. This may change as I get more direction from the district in the coming days.
   
   
3. I will be posting on this blog as my primary contact to students. If there are any supplemental materials needed, I'll make a post, question, or add material to Google Classroom. 
   
   

As always, stay healthy and safe. Practice social distancing. Make good choices.
